“In other words, if a short-statured person has normal BMI, weight, and body fat, they would have less risk of developing type 2
diabetes… Furthermore a tall obese man… with or without family history of
diabetes, and poor eating habits may be at far more higher risk of developing the disease.”
“We must remember that diabetes risk is multifactorial, and we cannot identify risk based on height or on one factor alone,” said Garcia.
