The association between maternal and paternal smoking during pregnancy and the risk of type 2 diabetes in daughters is largely explained by body mass index throughout the life course, according to a study published online Aug. 4 in Diabetes Care.

Vincent W.V. Jaddoe, MD, PhD, from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, and colleagues analyzed data from 34,453 participants of the Nurses' Health Study II to assess associations of maternal and paternal smoking during pregnancy with incidence of type 2 diabetes in daughters.
