Reduced odds of diabetes associated with high plasma salivary α-amylase activity in Qatari women: a cross-sectional study

<p>The association of salivary α-amylase activity (SAA) activity or low copy number of its coding gene AMY1 with diabetes remains controversial. We aimed to reinvestigate the association of these factors with diabetes in Qatar, where diabetes prevalence is about 16%. We obtained cross-sectiona...

description <p>The association of salivary α-amylase activity (SAA) activity or low copy number of its coding gene AMY1 with diabetes remains controversial. We aimed to reinvestigate the association of these factors with diabetes in Qatar, where diabetes prevalence is about 16%. We obtained cross-sectional data of 929 Qataris (age > 18 years) from the Qatar Biobank. We estimated AMY1 copy number variants (CNV) from whole-genome data, and quantified the SAA activity in plasma (pSAA). We used adjusted logistic regression to examine the association between pSAA activity or AMY1 CNV and diabetes odds. We found a significant association between high pSAA activity, but not AMY1 CNV, and reduced odds of diabetes in Qatari women. The OR per pSAA activity unit was 0.95 [95% CI 0.92, 0.98] (p = 0.002) (pSAA activity range: 4.7 U/L to 65 U/L) in women. The association is driven largely by the highest levels of pSAA activity. The probability of having diabetes was significantly lower in the fifth pSAA activity quintile relative to the first (0.21 ± 0.03 (Q1) versus 0.82 ± 0.02 (Q5)), resulting in significantly reduced diabetes prevalence in Q5 in women. Our study indicates a beneficial effect of high pSAA activity, but not AMY1 CN, on diabetes odds in Qatari women, and suggests pSAA activity levels as a potential marker to predict future diabetes in Qatari women.</p><h2>Other Information</h2> <p> Published in: Scientific Reports<br> License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-90977-y" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-90977-y</a></p>
