Waist-height ratio predicts severe diabetic eye disease risk in T1D
Waist-height ratio (WHtR), a hallmark of central obesity, appears to be a good indicator for the risk of developing severe diabetic eye disease (SDED) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), results of a 15-year cohort study suggest.

Systemic inflammation mediates obesity-related severe COVID-19
Systemic inflammation plays a significant role in severe COVID-19 associated with obesity, particularly in patients aged <65 years, as captured by peak C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), a study has found.

Tirzepatide regulates metabolites, lipids in T2D
Treatment with tirzepatide leads to a reduction in body weight and improvement in glycaemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), reports a study. In addition, it modulates metabolites associated with T2D risk and metabolic dysregulation that is consistent with improved metabolic health.

Waist circumference, not BMI, a good indicator of outcomes in older diabetics
In older patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), use of body mass index (BMI) does not adequately predict clinical outcomes associated with obesity, but waist circumference (WC) appears to be up to the task.
