abstract = {Associations between several persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) and type 2 diabetes have been found in humans, but
the relationship has rarely been investigated in the general
population. The current nested case-control study examined
internal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and
pesticides and the incidence of type 2 diabetes among
participants of two population-based German cohort
studies.We retrospectively selected 132 incident cases of
type 2 diabetes and 264 age- and sex-matched controls from
the CARdiovascular Living and Aging in Halle (CARLA) study
(2002-2006, East Germany) and the Cooperative Health
Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) study (1999-2001,
South Germany) based on diabetes status at follow-up
examinations in 2007-2010 and 2006-08, respectively $(60\%$
male, mean age 63 and 54 years). We assessed the
association between baseline POP concentrations and incident
diabetes by conditional logistic regression adjusted for
cohort, BMI, cholesterol, alcohol, smoking, physical
activity, and parental diabetes. Additionally, we examined
effect modification by sex, obesity, parental diabetes and
cohort.In both cohorts, diabetes cases showed a higher BMI,
a higher frequency of parental diabetes, and higher levels
of POPs. We observed an increased chance for incident
diabetes for PCB-138 and PCB-153 with an odds ratio (OR) of
1.50 $(95\%CI:$ 1.07-2.11) and 1.53 (1.15-2.04) per
interquartile range increase in the respective POP. In
addition, explorative results suggested higher OR for women
and non-obese participants.Our results add to the evidence
on diabetogenic effects of POPs in the general population,
and warrant both policies to prevent human exposure to POPs
and additional research on the adverse effects of more
complex chemical mixtures.},
