- Title
Abdominal Adiposity and Diabetes Risk.
- Authors
Hanley, Anthony J. G.; Wagenknecht, Lynne E.
- Abstract
The authors present comments on the relationship between abdominal adiposity and diabetes risk. They say such an eating disorder is possibly the longest studied and best described risk factor for type 2 diabetes. They claim that computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen can accurately quantify the impact of individual abdominal adipose tissue depots on diabetes risk in clinical and epidemiologic studies. They note the few ongoing studies abdominal adiposity as a predictor of incident diabetes or longitudinal changes in insulin resistance.
