Overweight in childhood is paid by adults
The link between obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is well known, but a recent study has brought to light surprising new information. This time, the focus is on Type 1 Diabetes, initially considered predominantly of genetic and immunological origin. A study conducted in Israel examined a large sample of adolescents between 1996 and 2016, shedding new light on the link between body weight in adolescence and the risk of developing Type 1 Diabetes in adulthood. We deepen the topic with the contribution of Prof. Antonio Secchi, Diabetologist in Milan
