Why the study?
Does NAFLD increase the risk of incident T2D differently based on sex and menopausal status?
Does NAFLD increase the risk of incident T2D differently based on sex and menopausal status?
NAFLD is a particularly strong risk factor for incident type 2 diabetes in premenopausal women, negating their usual protection against the disease.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support earlier T2D screening in premenopausal women with NAFLD; hypothesis-generating for sex- and menopause-specific risk modification.
NAFLD, including more severe NAFLD, is a stronger risk factor for incident T2D in premenopausal women than in postmenopausal women or men; protection against T2D is lost in premenopausal women with NAFLD.
