Relation Between Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: Evolutionary Insights, Perspectives and Controversies.

Current obesity reports - 1 Sept 2024

Gupta Manoj Kumar, Gouda Gayatri, Vadde Ramakrishna

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Since the mid-twentieth century, obesity and its related comorbidities, notably insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), have surged. Nevertheless, their underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Evolutionary medicine (EM) sheds light on these issues by examining how evolutionary processes shape traits and diseases, offering insights for medical practice. This review summarizes the...
