    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • refined carbohydrates and sugary drinks Moderate

    Reduces postprandial glucose spikes and reduces insulin demand; critical for genetic diabetes predisposition

    limit refined carbs to <10% daily calories; replace with whole grains, legumes, vegetables

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise for metabolic health Moderate

    Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis; especially important given genetic diabetes risk

    150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week

Screening

  • annual diabetes screening with HbA1c Moderate

    G allele carriers show increased type 2 diabetes susceptibility in large GWAS; early detection enables preventive intervention

    fasting glucose and HbA1c testing annually, more frequently if prediabetic
