Discussion | |
Anthropometric data and DM | Zhao et al discuss the importance of using screening and monitoring methods for specific populations, especially the elderly population but lifestyle changes in the study countries as well as screening methods must be considered |
Overweight and its implications | Changes in the lifestyle of the Chinese population led to a greater supply of processed foods and fast-food franchises which are known to be pro-inflammatory culminating in the development and progression of atherosclerosis and other comorbidities |
Alcohol abuse in elderly people with DM | Westernization of China brought with it a change in socialization among the elderly population and high number of alcoholics within this age group. This generated adverse consequences such as psychological and financial impacts on this population |
