Risk factor data were collected by questionnaires administered by a native Canadian nurse (Type 2 diabetes mellitus in children: Prenatal and early infancy risk factors among native Canadians. Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, 2002;156(7):651-655).
Children who were breastfed for longer than 12 months were 76% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than control subjects. A child whose mother had diabetes or developed gestational diabetes was significantly more likely to develop type 2 diabetes (odds ratio 14.4 and 4.4, respectively).
An obese mother or a birth weight greater than 4000 g or lower than 2500 g was also associated with a tendency to develop diabetes, but ...
