A Population Perspective on Diabetes Prevention

چکیده
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS — We examined participants in the San Antonio Heart Study, a prospective population-based study of Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites residing in San Antonio, Texas. BMI was stratified into four categories: normal ( 25 kg/m), overweight ( 25 kg/m and 30 kg/m), obese ( 30 kg/m and 35 kg/m), and very obese ( 35 kg/m). The number and proportion of incident cases prevented by targeting each BMI category were estimated. In addition, we calculated the decrease in risk of developing type 2 diabetes associated with weight gain prevention across both the BMI and age spectra.
