The Phoenix Epidemiology and Clinical Research Branch of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has conducted prospective studies of diabetes and its complications in the Pima Indians living in Arizona, USA for over 50 years. In this review we highlight areas in which these studies provided vital insights into the criteria used to diagnose type 2 diabetes, the pathophysiologic changes that accompany the development of type 2 diabetes, and the course and determinants of diabetes complications-focusing specifically on diabetic kidney disease. We include data from our longitudinal population-based study of diabetes and its complications, studies on the role of insulin resistance and insulin secretion in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, and in-depth studies of diabetic kidney disease that include measures of glomerular function and research kidney biopsies. We also focus on the emerging health threat posed by youth-onset type 2 diabetes, which was first seen in the Pima Indians in the 1960s and is becoming an increasing issue worldwide.

Background And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its more severe subtype, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), are highly prevalent and strongly associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study sought to identify challenges to the diagnosis, treatment and management of people living with MASLD and MASH and understand the key barriers to adopting relevant clinical guidelines.
Methods: A real-world, cross-sectional study (BARRIERS-MASLD) consisting of a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews of physicians in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom was conducted from March to September 2023.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses an escalating public health challenge among adolescents and young adults worldwide. Despite the rising incidence, comprehensive data on the burden and trends of T2DM in this demographic remain scarce. This study aims to evaluate the burden of T2DM among individuals aged 10-24 years globally, regionally, and nationally from 1990 to 2021.

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a common hematologic malignancy. Although previous research has explored associations between plasma proteins and CLL, the causal relationships remain unclear. This study used Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationship between 7156 plasma proteins and CLL risk.

Purpose: Protein supplementation has been proposed as an effective dietary strategy for maintaining or increasing skeletal muscle mass and improving physical performance in middle-aged and older adults. Diabetes mellitus exacerbates muscle mass loss, leading to many older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) experiencing sarcopenia, and vice versa. Our objective was to assess the impact of increased dietary protein intake on muscle mass, strength, physical performance, and the progression of T2DM in middle-aged and older adults diagnosed with this condition.

Background: Brain arteriolosclerosis (B-ASC) is a pathologic hallmark characterized by dysmorphic brain arteriolar wall thickening. B-ASC is a common finding at autopsy in aged persons - some degree of B-ASC is seen in >80% of brains beyond age 80 years - and is associated with cognitive impairment. Hypertension and diabetes are widely recognized as risk factors for B-ASC.
