Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how childhood BMI, fasting glucose, and insulin levels can predict the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adulthood.
- The research analyzed data from a large cohort of 6,738 participants who were followed from childhood into their 40s, revealing that higher childhood BMI and glucose levels increased the risk of developing T2DM by age 30.
- The findings suggest that even childhood measurements considered normal can indicate later diabetes risk, making them useful for clinical assessments, while fasting insulin may also serve as an additional predictor.
