The study included: 50 overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes; 50 normal-weight people with type 2 diabetes, and 50 normal-weight people without diabetes. These brain regions are related to memory, executive function, movement generation and visual information processing, said the study's senior author, Dr. "Obesity leads to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic dysfunction and is also associated with brain alterations independently," Lyoo said. "We aimed to investigate whether overweight/obesity influenced brain structure and cognitive function in individuals with early stage of type 2 diabetes."

Obese Children Four Times More Likely to Develop Type 2 Diabetes Finds New Study
New UK research has found that obese children are four times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than their normal-weight counterparts. The data showed that 654 children and teenagers were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between 1994 and 2013 and 1,318 children were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Estimates indicate one in 11 adults has type 2 diabetes, equal to around 415 million people worldwide. However, as the team expected, they found no association between obesity and the rate of type 1 diabetes, which is linked to an underlying autoimmune disorder. Given that diabetes and obesity are preventable from early life, our findings and other research will hopefully motivate the public and policymakers to invest and engage in diabetes prevention efforts."collected by :Lucy William
