Weight fluctuations to influence cardiovascular risks
In a new study conducted by Arnaud D. Kaze and team it was found that higher variability of adiposity indices was related to a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and mortality in people with type 2 diabetes in the control group, but not in the intensive lifestyle intervention group. It has never been investigated whether intense weight reduction programs impact the link of variability in adiposity measurements with negative health outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes.
Study published in the Journal of American Medical Association aimed to see if there are any links between long-term variability in adiposity indices and CVD outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes and if these links are changed by intensive lifestyle intervention.
