Association of childhood-adulthood body size trajectories with risk of micro- and macrovascular complications among individuals with type 2 diabetes: a prospective study
A persistent high body size trajectory from childhood to adulthood is associated with the greatest risk of both micro- and macrovascular complications in individuals with T2D, whereas those who were plumper in childhood but achieved a normal weight in adulthood did not show an increased risk of these complications. These findings underscore the importance of weight management from childhood and maintaining a healthy weight throughout adulthood to reduce the risk of diabetic vascular complications in those with T2D.
