Insulin resistance (IR), overweight/obesity, and fatty liver commonly occur together but are independently associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, according to results from a Korean study published online February 14 and in the April print issue of Diabetes Care...The diabetes trif**kta.
Although IR, overweight/obesity, and fatty liver are strongly correlated, the dissociation between these risk factors suggests that different pathogenetic mechanisms may be in play.
"The clustering of IR, overweight/obesity, and fatty liver is common and markedly increases the odds of developing type 2 diabetes, but these factors also have effects independently of each other and confounding factors," the authors write, adding that treatment for each factor may be warranted.
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.
