High muscle strength is associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes

According to RCO News Agency, This study showed that higher muscle strength is associated with more than 5 % reduction in the risk of type 2 diabetes, regardless of genetic talent. This study demonstrates the importance of maintaining or improving muscle strength as a key strategy to prevent diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common chronic metabolic disorders and is associated with an increased risk of various diseases, including heart disease, stroke, hypertension and narrowing of the blood vessels, according to Science Dilly. It is characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels, also known as hyperglycemia and is due to insulin resistance and insulin secretion disorder. Evidence shows that about 5 % of the world’s population is affected by type 2 diabetes, so prevention is important.

Type 2 diabetes can be due to interference between unchangeable genetic traits and lifestyle. Muscle strength is one of the most important aspects of muscle fitness and has been found to be associated with less risk of metabolic heart disease, including type 2 diabetes. However, it is still unclear whether muscle strength improvement can be considered as a diabetes prevention strategy in people with different levels of genetic aptitude. Especially those who have high genetic talent in type 2 diabetes.

The study used data from 1,800 British white people without type 2 diabetes. The muscle strength was evaluated. The genetic risk of type 2 diabetes was also estimated to be based on three known genetic types.

Participants have been pursued for more than seven years. During the follow -up period, 3 new type 2 diabetes cases were identified. The findings showed that, compared to low muscle strength, people with high muscle strength were associated with 2 % relative relative risk of type 2 diabetes, even after considering the genetic risk of the disease as well as other risk factors.

In addition, the research team observed evidence of the interaction between muscle strength and genetic sensitivity to type 2 diabetes, indicating that muscle strength may play a role in changing the effect of genetic risk on the onset of the disease. The findings also showed that people at high genetic risk but have high muscle strength have less risk for type 2 diabetes than those with low or moderate genetic risk, but have low muscle strength.

This pioneering study discovered the first futuristic relationship between muscle strength, genetic potential to type 2 diabetes, and the risk of the disease. The findings emphasize the vital role of maintaining or increasing muscle strength as a key strategy for preventing type 2 diabetes in middle -aged and older people, regardless of genetic risk levels, including those at high genetic risk.

One of the authors of the study stated: Further research is needed using special ethnic bank life studies to determine whether these findings can be generalized to other populations such as East Asia.
