Risk of type 2 diabetes according to the cumulative exposure to metabolic syndrome or obesity: A nationwide population ‐based study

ConclusionsMetabolic health and obesity fluctuated within a relatively short period of four to five years. Although the impact was much greater for MetS than for obesity, the cumulative duration of both obesity and MetS was associated with an increased risk of T2D in a dose ‐response manner. Therefore, continuously maintaining metabolic health and normal weight is crucial to prevent incident T2D.
