Brain structure and cognitive function appear to suffer among obese teens with type 2 diabetes, according to MRI and neuropsychology findings.Will the circle ever be unbroken?
The differences, compared with other obese teens, included consistently worse performance in all cognitive domains assessed, reduced white matter volume, enlarged cerebrospinal fluid space, and lower microstructural integrity of the white and grey matter.
These effects match what has been seen with type 2 diabetes in adults, Antonio Convit, MD, of NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, and colleagues reported online in Diabetologia.
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
