With increasing levels of air pollution comes increasing levels of insulin resistance in children, according to new research. Insulin resistance is the precursor to diabetes.
It has previously been identified that there are strong links ?between air pollution and other chronic conditions such as atherosclerosis and heart disease. However to date, epidemiological studies that have examined associations between long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and type 2 diabetes in adults are inconsistent, and studies on insulin resistance in children are scarce.?
So the researchers chose to address this, investigating the effect that air pollution has on insulin resistance in children.
