About this study

Official title: Study of MAXimum Weight in Lifetime on Glucose Homeostasis (MAXWEL)

Hypothesis : The maximum body weight in lifetime is associated with the onset of development of type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Obesity is well recognized risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Recent studies reported that weight change, especially severe weight gain was associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the maximum body weight of lifetime is associated with the early onset of type 2 diabetes or an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in Korean.
