“…This finding concurs with recent studies which reported that blood pressure control is associated with the prevalence of diabetes [5,12,25], especially for women [26]. Also, the prevalence of diabetes for both men and women with serum triglyceride levels of≥ 135 mg/dL appears to have increased more rapidly than for men and women with a triglyceride level of <135 mg/dL.…”

“…[1][2][3] The threat of diabetes, the most well-known consequence of obesity, is particularly alarming, 4 as its chronic course and potentially severe complications have major implications for individual patients and for society. The total annual direct medical costs for the Swedish diabetes type 2 population were estimated to account for about 6% of the total national health care expenditure.…”

“…The result from Pima Indians Community Study also indicated that leisure time physical activity plays a significant role in preventing type 2 diabetes [21]. The Gothenburg BEDA Study found a significant inverse association between leisure time physical activity and the risk of type 2 diabetes among 2017 Swedish women [23].…”
