Люди с нормальным весом также могут заболеть диабетомIn the analysis of the indicators of diabetes it was found that 33% of the adult population of normal weight at age 45 years and older have prediabetes.

Today diabetes type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions, and treatment of this disease is very expensive. Diabetes is a chronic disease that is not treatable. Identification of individuals at high risk of developing diabetes and subsequent treatment are an effective strategy for slowing the progression of the disease.

Modern methods aimed at preventing the development of diabetes, aimed at people who are overweight. However, experts from the University of public health Florida warn that thin people of normal weight are also at risk of developing diabetes.

Experts believe that a healthy body composition is more important than weight. Body composition is the ratio lean body mass to fat. In the analysis of the indicators of diabetes during the 18-year period it was found that 33% of the adult population of normal weight at age 45 years and older have prediabetes. The percentage of adults with a healthy weight and prediabetes showed significant growth over time, the researchers say, noting that this is of particular concern because public health officials believe this group of the population is not at risk of developing diabetes and not developing it any treatment methods.

Instead of looking for the weight, it is necessary to assess the risk of developing diabetes from the perspective of a healthy body composition, presented as the ratio of muscle mass and body fat, experts say. People with healthy weight can have poor body composition due to lack of muscle mass and large amounts of hidden fat. These people are often called “skinny fat”. Over time, this proportion is changing for the worse, as the muscle loss inevitable with aging.
