Lean diabetes: 20-year trends in its prevalence and clinical features among Korean adults
The prevalence of lean type 2 diabetes among Korean adults is increasing, at a rate similar to type 2 diabetes in overweight/obese individuals. Patients with lean type 2 diabetes showed decreased beta-cell function and sarcopenia. These findings emphasize the need for tailored management strategies for lean type 2 diabetes given its characteristics and rising prevalence.
