LID - 10.3390/nu15081935 [doi] LID - 1935 AB - High iron stores have been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, evidence for the associations of iron metabolism with T2DM is inconsistent, and whether there is a threshold effect remains controversial. In the present study, we aimed to examine the associations between various iron biomarkers and the risk of T2DM as well as impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) and hyperglycemia in Chinese women of childbearing age. A total of 1145 women were divided into three groups (normal blood glucose metabolism group; IGM group; T2DM group). Biomarkers of iron metabolism (serum ferritin (SF), transferrin, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), transferrin saturation, serum iron, total body iron, and sTfR-to-lgferritin index) were measured. After adjusting for various confounding risk factors, SF and sTfR were positively associated with the risk of IGM (fourth vs. first quartile: SF odds ratio (OR) = 1.93 (95% CI 1.17-3.20) and sTfR OR = 3.08 (95% CI 1.84-5.14)) and T2DM (SF OR = 2.39 (95% CI 1.40-4.06) and sTfR OR = 3.84 (95% CI 2.53-5.83)). There was a nonlinear relationship between SF and risk of T2DM and hyperglycemia (p for nonlinearity < 0.01). Our findings suggested that SF and sTfR could be independent predictors of T2DM risk.
