AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between Type 2 @entity6 and @entity5046 . METHODS: We recruited 68 @entity1 (mean+/-S.D. age=64.9+/-9.1 years; 57.4% males) from a community-based cohort and their nondiabetic partners (age=63.8+/-9.9 years; mean relationship duration=37.3+/-11.5 years) to a prospective observational matched-pair cohort study. @entity1 were assessed for @entity281 risk factors and were required to complete an @entity281 diary over the following year. RESULTS: Sixty @entity1 -partner pairs returned completed diaries. A greater proportion of @entity1 than partners had received influenza vaccination in the past year (73.3% vs. 60.0%; P=.057), but pneumococcal vaccination coverage in the previous 5 years was similar (11.7% vs. 10.0%; P=1.0). The proportions of @entity1 and partners reporting no @entity281 were similar (51.7% vs. 58.3%; P=.52), but the @entity6 @entity1 were more likely to have experienced more than one @entity281 (33.3% vs. 18.3%: P=.022). Baseline glycosylated hemoglobin levels in @entity1 with and without at least one @entity281 were similar, and there was no association between multiple @entity281 and glycosylated hemoglobin (P>.2 in each case). After adjusting for age and gender, the probability of at least one @entity281 during follow-up was not associated with @entity6 (P=.33), but the number of @entity281 was positively associated with @entity6 (P=.005). CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION: Although similar proportions of Type 2 @entity6 @entity1 and their nondiabetic partners remained @entity281 -free over a 12-month period, the @entity6 @entity1 who developed @entity281 had a greater number of episodes. Glycemic control did not predict the risk or frequency of @entity5046 in the @entity6 group.
