The absence of additional metabolic risk factors does not protect overweight or obese young men from developing type 2 diabetes, a new study finds.
Gilad Twig, MD, PhD, of the department of medicine at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel, and colleagues published the results from the Metabolic, Lifestyle and Nutrition Assessment in Young Adults (MELANY) study online August 19 in Diabetes Care.
"Our findings primarily suggest that obesity, even when accompanied by an intact metabolic profile, is not a benign condition. Physicians should be aware of this, especially among young adults," Dr. Twig told Medscape Medical News.
