Key result
High BMI is linked to growing global T2DM burden, disproportionately impacting postmenopausal women.
Observational
Yes
The global disease burden of T2DM attributable to high BMI is rising, highlighting the need for targeted public health strategies, especially for postmenopausal women and specific socioeconomic groups.
Our study reveals that the disease burden of T2DM caused by high BMI is significantly increasing and is expected to continue rising in the future. Women bear a heavier burden, particularly postmenopausal women, and there are significant differences in the disease burden across different geographical regions, and socioeconomic statuses. Targeted considerations and specific strategies are essential to address these disparities, thereby improving public health and reducing the burden.

Huang et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. High BMI was evaluated on Disease burden of T2DM caused by high BMI. High BMI significantly increased the global disease burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus from 1990 to 2021, with a heavier burden observed in women, particularly postmenopausal women.
