Genetic inheritance is linked to people's family history and lifestyle, to determine the chronic diseases they will present over the years. The following is the purpose of making known the situations that lead to type 2 diabetes and how they relate to each other both to raise awareness and try to decrease it, as well as to inform and know more about the condition.
Diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar levels, either because the body does not produce insulin or when the body is unable to use insulin properly, which is known as insulin resistance and is the main characteristic of type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is the most common type of diabetes.
Diabetes has different risk factors, the goal of this study was to investigate how much influence each of the major factors (genetic inheritance, obesity and family history of diabetes) has on the onset of T2D.
However, the geographical area shows some influence for the onset of this disease. Mexico is experiencing the fastest increase ever in the number of children and adults with T2D cases, and now ranks second in Latin America and sixth in the world in prevalence of T2D, with nearly 11.5 million people affected; the pace of life and habits in eating and health are also very much based.
The following research analyses different segments of society taking into account their biological and demographic characteristics to understand how obesity works and some genes specific to the onset of diabetes.
