Summary: The study revealed that underweight status is associated with the highest risk of AF in Asian patients with T2DM, while overweight status is linked to reduced AF risk. The relationship between BMI and AF risk was found to be J-shaped or L-shaped.

Summary: This study analyzed data from a prospective study in Iran and found that long-term opium use is associated with a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes. This association is mainly mediated by lower body weight and adiposity.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between body shape index (ABSI) and mortality rate in patients with type 2 diabetes. The results showed that ABSI was closely associated with mortality rate, along with other indices such as BMI, WC, WHR, WHtR, and BRI. The combined use of ABSI and BMI provided better explanation of the variation in death risk compared to the independent use of BMI or other indices.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the glucose tolerance status after 15 years of pregnancy in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to assess the long-term effect of GDM on circulating miRNA profile. The study included 30 randomly selected women diagnosed with GDM during 2005-2006, and glucose tolerance was measured using the National Diabetes Data Group criteria. Four miRNAs were analyzed in the plasma of women 15 years after the diagnosis of GDM. The study found that 50% of women had some degree of glucose intolerance 15 years after the diagnosis of GDM, which was directly related to body weight and body mass index during pregnancy. Dysglycemic women also showed significantly increased levels of circulating hsa-miR-24-3p. Thus, initial weight and BMI, along with circulating expression levels of hsa-miR-24-3p, could be good predictors of the future development of dysglycemia in women with a previous diagnosis of GDM.

Summary: The study used data from the ACCORD study to examine the association between various obesity indexes and incident DN risk in T2DM patients, finding that higher levels of both central and general obesity were associated with an increased risk of DN in women but not in men.

Summary: This study found a strong association between food addiction and type 2 diabetes in both the general population and individuals with mental disorders. The results suggest that food addiction could be a promising target for preventing type 2 diabetes.

Summary: This study found that obesity may be associated with improved cognitive function in patients with T2DM, and this effect may be mediated by brain structure.

Summary: The study found that food addiction is significantly associated with more serious eating pathologies, more frequent weight-cycling, higher impulsivity, and higher BMI. The severity of food addiction was predictive of an increase in BMI. Impulsivity showed a correlation with the severity of food addiction, suggesting a relationship between impulsivity and weight gain in some individuals.

Summary: In recent years, the incidence of obesity among people aged 60 and above has significantly increased, and abdominal obesity has been identified as an independent risk factor for diabetes. However, the relationship between abdominal obesity indicators and diabetes in this age group remains unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to study the correlation between anthropometric indices and diabetes and explore potential predictors.

Summary: The study found that the Ala12Ala genotype was significantly more common in obese females, with carriers having higher weight and BMI. In males, the Ala12Ala genotype was associated with significantly higher levels of HDL-cholesterol and apoA-I. In females, carriers of Ala12Ala seemed to have higher levels of leptin.

Summary: This study found that the triglyceride-glucose index is independently associated with the risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Chinese adults aged over 75 years. The index may be useful in monitoring T2DM in older populations.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether muscle mass is associated with the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes, and whether this association differs within different weight categories. The results showed that muscle mass was associated with both the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes in men and women. This association was strongest in women of normal weight.

Summary: The study found that the Mediterranean diet has a direct effect on the risk of hip fracture, independent of type 2 diabetes mellitus and body mass index. Mediation analysis showed that the indirect effects through type 2 diabetes or body mass index are minimal.

Summary: This study found that the stable, metabolically healthy nonobesity group had a lower risk of incident type 2 diabetes compared to the stable, metabolically healthy obesity group. When metabolically healthy obese individuals changed to metabolically healthy nonobese status, their risk of developing type 2 diabetes was similar to that of participants in the stable metabolically healthy nonobesity group. These findings suggest the importance of paying attention to changes in metabolic phenotypes to prevent incident type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population.
