A study by researchers at the University of Hong Kong assessed the impact of muscle strength on type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk among 141,848 individuals. Results indicated a strong association between higher muscle strength and a 40% reduction in T2D risk, independent of genetic predisposition. This emphasizes the need for targeted interventions aiming to improve muscle strength as a preventive strategy against T2D. Given T2D's high prevalence and its serious health complications, maintaining muscle strength could be pivotal in global health initiatives to curb metabolic diseases.
Researchers found that higher muscle strength was linked to over a 40% lower risk of type 2 diabetes, regardless of genetic risk factors.
The study gauged muscle strength among a vast cohort, providing compelling evidence for muscle strength as a pivotal element in T2D prevention.
