Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the link between urinary zinc levels and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among adults from regions with high T2DM rates (AZ, OK, ND, SD).
- The research included over 3,000 participants from two major studies, tracking them for several years to see how urinary zinc levels correlated with new diabetes diagnoses and prediabetes.
- Results showed that higher urinary zinc levels were associated with a greater risk of developing T2DM and were also linked to prediabetes, indicating that zinc metabolism may play a significant role in diabetes development.
