Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for reducing cardiovascular risks, especially for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Researchers have now identified the ideal weight for adults with type 2 diabetes to minimize their risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
According to an early press release of the study, diabetes patients under the age of 65 who maintain their body mass index (BMI) between 23 and 25 kg/m² have the least risk of death from cardiovascular disease. However, for those aged 65 and above, maintaining a moderately overweight BMI between 26 and 28 kg/m² is associated with the lowest risk.
