Similar trends were observed in participants with diagnosed diabetes. When stratified by glycemic status acquired 4 to 14 years before imaging, White and Asian participants exhibited significantly lower PVI and higher PFF with increased hemoglobin A1c. Higher polygenic risk scores for type 2 diabetes and hemoglobin A1c were associated with reduced PVI (\u03c1 = \u22120.07, P &amp;lt; .0001; and \u03c1 = \u22120.14, P &amp;lt; .0001, respectively) and elevated PFF (\u03c1 = 0.07, P &amp;lt; .0001 and \u03c1 = 0.18, P &amp;lt; .0001, respectively). In contrast, type 1 diabetes polygenic risk showed no significant association with any pancreas measures. Sedentary lifestyle behaviors associated with type 2 diabetes risk at study baseline correlated with smaller PVI and increased pancreas fat 4 to 14 years later.<\/jats:p>\n
