The classification of diabetes mellitus and the tests used for its diagnosis were brought into order by National Diabetes Data Group USA second World Health Organization Expert Committee on Mellitus in 1979 1980. Apart from minor modifications WHO 1985, little has been changed since that time. There is however considerable new knowledge regarding aetiology different forms as well more information predictive value blood glucose values complications diabetes. A Consultation therefore taken...
A cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which occur together more often than by chance alone, have become known as the metabolic syndrome. The include raised blood pressure, dyslipidemia (raised triglycerides lowered high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), fasting glucose, central obesity. Various diagnostic criteria been proposed different organizations over past decade. Most recently, these come from International Diabetes Federation American Heart...
The growing worldwide prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the young, as underlined by an earlier International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Consensus Statement 1, has highlighted a significant shortfall data on epidemiology disorder and identification treatment children adolescents at risk progression to this disease. Urbanization, unhealthy diets, increasingly sedentary lifestyles have contributed increase childhood obesity, particularly developing countries 2. Current initiatives...
Prevention and control programmes are needed to stem the rising epidemic of diabetes its complications. However, these will not occur unless governments public health planners aware potential problem. Using published prevalence rates for NIDDM in different populations, current projected age distributions, worldwide was estimated 1995 1997, well as projections 2000 2010. Prevalence used were chosen reflect changes lifestyle with economic development. The global IDDM using incidence population...
Total sedentary (absence of whole-body movement) time is associated with obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism, and the metabolic syndrome. In addition to effects total time, manner in which it accumulated may also be important. We examined association breaks objectively measured biological markers risk.Participants (n = 168, mean age 53.4 years) for this cross-sectional study were recruited from 2004-2005 Australian Diabetes, Obesity Lifestyle study. Sedentary was by an accelerometer...
Observational studies show breaking up prolonged sitting has beneficial associations with cardiometabolic risk markers, but intervention are required to investigate causality. We examined the acute effects on postprandial glucose and insulin levels of uninterrupted compared interrupted by brief bouts light- or moderate-intensity walking.Overweight/obese adults (n = 19), aged 45-65 years, were recruited for a randomized three-period, three-treatment crossover trial: 1) sitting; 2) seated...
We examined the associations of objectively measured sedentary time and physical activity with continuous indexes metabolic risk in Australian adults without known diabetes.An accelerometer was used to derive percentage monitoring spent light-intensity moderate-to-vigorous-intensity activity, as well mean intensity, 169 Diabetes, Obesity Lifestyle Study (AusDiab) participants (mean age 53.4 years). Associations waist circumference, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, resting blood pressure,...
OBJECTIVE—To determine the population-based prevalence of diabetes and other categories glucose intolerance (impaired tolerance [IGT] impaired fasting [IFG]) in Australia to compare with previous Australian data. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A national sample involving 11,247 participants aged ≥25 years living 42 randomly selected areas from six states Northern Territory were examined a cross-sectional survey using 75-g oral test assess 2-h plasma concentrations. The World Health Organization...
BACKGROUND Despite growing evidence that bariatric/metabolic surgery powerfully improves type 2 diabetes (T2D), existing treatment algorithms do not include surgical options. AIM The 2nd Diabetes Surgery Summit (DSS-II), an international consensus conference, was convened in collaboration with leading organizations to develop global guidelines inform clinicians and policymakers about benefits limitations of metabolic for T2D. METHODS A multidisciplinary group 48 clinicians/scholars (75%...
