A Swedish study revealed the relationship between puberty in men and the risk of diabetes. The researchers studied BMI measures for a number of men at the age of eight and at age 20, and then followed the medical records of these men. from the age of thirty and for nearly three decades. During this period, 1,777 men were diagnosed with diabetes.
Overweight men in their childhood and not in adulthood were no more likely to develop diabetes when they were older than their peers who had a healthy weight during their childhood.
But men who had gained weight in adulthood were about four times more likely to develop diabetes before the age of 55 and twice as likely to develop the disease after that age.
Children and adolescents are obese when BMI, the weight-to-height ratio, is greater than 95% of other young people of the same age and gender. They are considered overweight when the BMI ranges from 85 to 95%.
