Quantitative relationship between body weight gain in adulthood and incident type 2 diabetes: a meta‐analysis

Abstract: This meta-analysis quantified the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) preceded by body weight (BW) gain in the general population. Systematic literature searches retrieved 15 eligible studies. The BW gain was divided into early weight-gain, which was defined as BW gain from early adulthood (18-24 years of age) to cohort entry (≥25 years of age), and late weight-gain, which was defined as BW gain from cohort entry. The pooled relative risk (RR; 95% confidence interval [CI]) of T2DM for an increment of BW ga… Show more

“…Accordingly, weight gain from adolescence throughout adulthood has been linked to higher risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancers in the colorectum, breast, and pancreas, as well as premature death 2134 35 36 37 In contrast, lifestyle based weight loss interventions have been shown to result in favorable changes in cardiometabolic risk factors and potentially lower mortality 3839 40…”

“…However, WHR is a reflection of abdominal obesity which is known to trigger changes to the body metabolism that cause adipose tissues to release increased amounts of fatty acids, glycerol, hormones, pro-inflammatory cytokines and other factors that are involved in development of insulin resistance hence poor control of blood glucose level. Tremendous increases in rate of T2D in recent years have been attributed primarily to the rise in obesity worldwide (Lean, 2000;Zimmet et al, 2001;and Kodama et al, 2014). This rise is also not unconnected with the conveniences of modern life resulting in popularity of high fat, high energy diets and convenient foods.…”
