Article Synopsis
- Body mass index (BMI) trajectories were studied over 18 years to understand their link to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a sample of 6026 participants aged 20 to 65 from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.
- Three distinct BMI patterns were identified: low-increasing (38.6%), medium-increasing (47.1%), and high-increasing (14.3%), with medium and high trajectories significantly increasing the risk of developing T2DM.
- The high-increasing BMI group exhibited the highest hazards ratios (HRs) for T2DM in both normoglycemic and prediabetic individuals, suggesting that tracking BMI patterns can aid in predicting and preventing T2DM.
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a chronic relapsing-remitting systemic disease of the gastrointestinal tract with rising incidence. Studies have shown that adipocytes play a crucial role in patients with IBD by actively participating in systemic immune responses. The present study was designed to investigate the correlation between the circulatory levels of resistin, as an adipokine, and active and remission phases of IBD in comparison with healthy controls.
