Metabolic syndrome

Restricting eating to within a 10-hour daily window results in weight loss and metabolic benefits for people with metabolic syndrome, report researchers in Cell Metabolism.

Findings from the ESTEEM trial suggest that consuming a Mediterranean-style diet may reduce gestational weight gain and lower the risk for gestational diabetes among pregnant women with metabolic risk factors.

Sedentary time, higher intensity physical activity (HPA), and cardiorespiratory fitness all independently affect the risk for type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, data from The Maastricht Study show.

Research shows that changes in markers of the metabolic syndrome and fatty liver disease are present more than 20 years before people receive a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
