Relationship between obesity and concordance rate for type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus among twins.

Diabetes research and clinical practice - 16 Dec 1994

Matsuda A, Kuzuya T

Abstract excerpt

In order to analyse the relationship of genetic factors and the role of obesity in the pathogenesis of Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, we compared body mass index (BMI) and other parameters in 71 monozygotic and 17 dizygotic twins (MZT and DZT) with Type 2 diabetes, and analysed the relationship of maximal BMI in the past (max BMI) with the concordance and discordance for diabetes. Data were...
