A protein in the blood could serve as an early indicator for patients who face risks for diabetes and death from cancer, according to a new study.
People with the highest levels of prostasin in their blood were twice as likely to have diabetes and 43% more likely to die from cancer, the researchers found.
Researchers in Sweden and China analyzed 2 decades of health records from more than 4,600 middle-aged adults, measuring prostasin in frozen samples from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study Cardiovascular Cohort. The Swedish study, which enrolled patients in the 1990s, looked into the relationship between diet and later cancer risk.
About 360 people already had diabetes when they joined the study, so the researchers analyzed those without the disease to see who was diagnosed later. People in the top 25% for prostasin levels ended up being 76% more likely to get diabetes than those in the bottom 25%.
