Research shows that height and leg length are associated with diabetes risk

The past of the research is 'that type 2 diabetes by weight loss by reducing the caloric intake is greatly improved,' found has been, has been that there is a strong association between obesity and diabetes lifestyle brings. However, a new study found that not only obesity, but also height and leg length may be closely related to diabetes.

The research group of Clemens Wittenbecher and others working at the German Nutrition Research Institute revealed the relationship between height and the risk of diabetes. First, the study group randomly selected 2500 subjects from 26,437 German men and women who had provided physical data in previous studies, and weighed, height, sitting height, waist, blood pressure. I investigated. They then followed the medical data of the subjects and compared and analyzed the diagnosis rate of diabetes and physical data.

As a result, it was found that “height” and “risk of becoming type 2 diabetes in the future” were inversely related. Specifically, for every 10 cm tall, the risk of diabetes decreased by 41% for men and 33% for women.
On the other hand, it has been found that weight also has a strong influence. If the analysis was limited to people with normal weight, the 10-cm height reduction in diabetes risk was 86% for men and 67% for women. On the other hand, for those who tend to be obese, the decrease in the risk of diabetes due to a height of 10 cm was reduced to 36% for men and 30% for women. For this reason, Wittenbecher points out that 'obesity negates the benefits of being tall.'
“Foot length” also reduced the risk of diabetes, but there were gender differences in its effectiveness. For women, both height and sitting height decreased the risk of diabetes, whereas for men, if they were tall but high, that is, if their legs were short, there was a risk of diabetes. There was a tendency to increase. In general, because the bones of the torso are often extended at the end of the growth period, the research team said, 'It is better to have'. In the case of women, the risk of diabetes is reduced regardless of whether they grow up before or after the growth period.

On the other hand, the possibility that height is not a direct factor has also been found. The research team thinks that the inverse correlation between height and diabetes risk is due to visceral metabolism, and calculates the relationship between height and diabetes risk when there is a tendency for fatty liver. did. As a result, the risk of diabetic risk due to a height of 10 cm was reduced to 34% for men and only 13% for women when there was a tendency to fatty liver.
From this result, Mr. Wittenbecher said, “Short people tend to have higher indicators of visceral metabolism, which suggests that the risk of diabetes is higher than that of tall people as a result.” In other words, he suggested that visceral metabolism may be a more direct factor than height.
Gail Mercks, vice president of research at the Laurie-Myers School of Nursing in the United States, said, “Because this is a secondary analysis study that did not directly examine the subjects, It is necessary to pay attention. ' Together, 'Because various factors are related to diabetes, it doesn't mean that you are diabetic because you are short, or that you are not tall because you are tall.' Stressed the need for a healthy life regardless of height.
