Body adipose distribution among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
2012
Xie, Liang-Jun | Cheng, Mu-Hua
Both diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are prevalent in adults. The relationship between DM and body adipose tissue (AT) distribution is complex and although it has been investigated extensively, the subject remains controversial. Although a causal association between DM and obesity and AT distribution cannot be established on the basis of existing data, it is possible to conclude from many studies that gene, serum sex steroids level, daily physical activity and food supply can be the risk of obesity and AT redistribution factor among type 2 DM patients (T2DM). Obesity and AT redistribution of T2DM patients can increase the risk of insulin resistant (IR), cardiovascular disease and many other disorders. Even though obesity and AT redistribution screening or prophylactic treatment in all patients with T2DM is not being recommended at present, such patient populations should be given general guidelines regarding exercise, food intake control, and even medicinal treatment. The extent of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions should be based on the individual's risk profile.
