Humero-femoral index and diabetes risk in the US population- a case study.
J Diabetes Metab Disord
December 2023
Background: The between-subject variability in diabetes risk persists in epidemiological studies, even after accounting for obesity. We investigated whether the humero-femoral index (HFI) was associated with prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and assessed the incremental value of HFI as a marker of T2DM.
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2018.
A multidisciplinary team is composed of various healthcare professionals that ensure a multifaceted approach on a group of patients. Standards for diabetes medical care note the importance of multidisciplinary diabetes care teams. We applied our model of multidisciplinary approach by structuring it in a determined five days hospitalization.

- Type 1 diabetes in Africa has a high mortality rate largely due to inadequate insulin access, though recent programs are providing free insulin to patients.
- A study in Cameroon revealed a mortality rate of 33.0 per 1000 person-years, with many deaths occurring outside of hospitals and higher rates observed in those with less education and in rural healthcare settings.
- Factors such as receiving care in urban clinics and having formal education significantly lower the risk of mortality for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Background: Viruses have been considered potential triggers for the development of diabetes. This study assessed insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8)-infected and uninfected sub-Saharan African people with diabetes.
Methods: In all, 173 people with non-autoimmune diabetes were enrolled consecutively: 124 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 49 with ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) admitted in hyperglycemic crisis.
