چکیده
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly in all non-industrialised populations. By 2025, three-quarters of the world’s 300 million adults with diabetes will be in non-industrialised countries, and almost a third in India and China alone. There is strong evidence that this epidemic has been triggered by social and economic development and urbanisation, which are associated with general improvements in nutrition and longevity, but also with obesity, reduced physical exercise and other diabetogenic factors. There is evidence too that fetal growth retardation and growth failure in infancy, both still widespread in nonindustrialised populations, increase susceptibility to diabetes. An additional factor may be intergenerational effects of gestational diabetes occurring in mothers who grew poorly in early life and become obese as adults. Prevention of type 2 diabetes will require measures to promote exercise and reduce obesity in adults and children, alongside programmes to achieve healthy fetal and infant growth.

متن کاملPower spectra and distribution of contrasts of natural images from different habitats
Some theories for visual receptive fields postulate that they depend on the image statistics of the natural habitat. Consequently, different habitats may lead to different receptive fields. We thus decided to study how some of the most relevant statistics vary across habitats. In particular, atmospheric and underwater habitats were compared. For these habitats, we looked at two measures of the ...
