Seoul National University Hospital and Soongsil University, the result of analysis of 1.52 million people… Risk of weight change of more than 5% in 2 years
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jandi Kim = A warning has been issued that not only a rapid increase in weight but also a decrease in weight can be dangerous for diabetic patients. Diabetes patients with large changes, such as gaining or losing more than 5% of their body weight over 2 years, are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, a study has reported.
A research team led by Professor Hyung-Kwan Kim of Seoul National University Hospital Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and Professor Kyung-Do Han of Soongsil University confirmed this fact by analyzing the association between weight change and cardiovascular disease in 1,522,241 diabetic patients who underwent comprehensive health checkups twice between 2009 and 2012. work said
The research team divided them into ▲ 10% or more weight loss ▲ 5-10% weight loss ▲ stable weight (less than 5% increase or decrease) ▲ 5-10% weight gain ▲ 10% or more weight gain. The occurrence of atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and death was followed.
As a result, the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality were higher in the weight gain or loss group of 5% or more compared to the group with stable body weight. The higher the increase/decrease rate, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality.
Overall, a ‘U’-shaped correlation was confirmed in that the greater the patient’s weight gain or loss, the higher the risk of cardiovascular disease and death.

This correlation was consistently shown in underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese patients regardless of the degree of obesity in diabetic patients.
The research team interprets this as showing that the degree of weight change is more significantly involved in the occurrence of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients than the degree of obesity.
Professor Kim said, “This study is significant in that it revealed that both rapid weight gain and loss in diabetic patients increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.”
He added, “We should not think positively regarding weight loss in obese diabetic patients. If a patient loses weight, we need to comprehensively review how they are controlling their blood sugar levels, eating habits, and exercise and whether other diseases have occurred. There is a need,” he added.
The research results were published in ‘Diabetes Care’, an international academic journal in the field of endocrine metabolism.
