In recent decades, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has rapidly increased worldwide, becoming a global health issue1. Of note, population studies have reported a higher prevalence of T2D in men than in women2,3. Consistent with humans, male mice have lower insulin sensitivity than fem...
In women aged <45 years with FBG <6.9 mmol/l, those with BMI ≥27.5 kg/m2 had the highest mortality, whereas individuals with BMI <20 kg/m2 had the highest mortality for each given FBG level in other age and sex groups. Conclusions/interpretation Leanness and hyperglycaemia interact ...
