Environmental and lifestyle factorsin obesity and diabetes
Independent of age, exercise levels, sedentary behaviours, especially TV watching, were associated with significantly elevated risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes
Sedentary behaviours increase risk of obesity
Hu FB et al. JAMA 2003;289:1785–91
Each 2-hr/day increment in TV watching was associated with 23% increase in obesity and
14% increase in risk of diabetes

Take home messages
• Obesity and diabetes are closely linked
– Common environmental and lifestyle triggers
– Pathogenetic mechanisms link “diabesity” with NASH, CVD and other common diseases
• Diabetes can be prevented by weight loss
• Diabetes remission can be attained through metabolic surgery
– Mechanisms involved give rise to possible future medical therapies
