TL;DR
Exposure to paternal betel-quid chewing increases the risk of early manifestation of MetS in human offspring in a dose-dependent manner, according to the mean ages of offspring with MetS at entry.
Abstract
Our findings suggest that exposure to paternal betel-quid chewing increases the risk of early manifestation of MetS in human offspring in a dose-dependent manner.

The habit of chewing areca nut independently contributes to the risk of both hyperglycaemia and Type 2 diabetes in Taiwanese men, and this association is dose-dependent with respect to the duration ofAreca nut use and the quantity of areca Nut chewed per day.

It is suggested that betel chewing, a habit common to about 10 % of the world population, may contribute to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and waist and age were the major markers of increasing glycaemia.

A two-step screening strategy was used to compare the metabolic risk profiles between subjects from Kinmen, Taiwan, who had fasting and 2-hr plasma glucose impairment and were considered at high risk of diabetes due to a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) between 5.6 and 7.8 mmol/l, and subjects with IGT (2-hr glucose impairment) were associated with cardiovascular risk profiles.
