Type 2 diabetes prevention best if cardiovascular health is good
Results from a recent study have underlined the importance of favorable cardiovascular health (CVH) for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in middle-aged people regardless of their genetic susceptibility. The study appears in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) Mellitus is a common chronic condition characterized by impaired glucose and insulin metabolism. About 463 million are said to be affected by T2D which is expected to increase to 700 million by 2045. Multilevel intervention measures are warranted to improve T2D prevention as its pathogenesis is driven by varied genetic and non-genetic factors.
