Diabetes and Cholesterol Metabolism

Obesity and Metabolic Disorders

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects both children and adults globally. It is the major risk factor for a number of non-communicable diseases, mainly in type 2 diabetes. Obese people with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) should take care of their body weight to prevent further progression to diabetes.  Patients older than 45 years are screened for body mass index (BMI) to determine diabetes.
