In general, obese people are predisposed to diabetes, but a new study recently published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine claims that if you are a thin person, you should be wary of the risk of prediabetes caused by sedentary.
Archimedes III, director of the Center for Health Services Research, Management and Policy at the School of Public Health, School of Public Health, University of Florida, led the research team in analyzing the health data of more than 1,000 Britons over the age of 20. Subjects were either normal or underweight. Found that subjects who do not exercise blood glucose levels were 5.7 percentage points higher than regular exercise, 1/4 of the sedentary who have reached the diagnostic criteria of prediabetes or diabetes; then take into account the age, at 45 years of age Above the slim adult, this proportion increased to over 40%.
The researchers explained that normal weight does not mean normal metabolism, a considerable part of the sports-less weight-loss may belong to the normal weight of metabolic obesity, that is, 'fake lean' Therefore, experts advise, even slender people, can not be sedentary At present, scientists plan to further understand the causes of diabetic precursors to normal weight in order to help the public better to prevent diabetes.
