Abstract
Prediabetes is a highly prevalent and increasingly common condition affecting a significant proportion of the global population. The heterogeneous nature of prediabetes presents a challenge in identifying individuals who particularly benefit from lifestyle or other therapeutic interventions aiming at preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and associated comorbidities. The phenotypic characteristics of individuals at risk for diabetes are associated with both specific risk profiles for progression and a differential potential to facilitate prediabetes remission and reduce the risk of future T2D. This review examines the current definition and global prevalence of prediabetes and evaluates the potential of prediabetes remission to reduce the alarming increase in the global burden of T2D.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TEM) stands as a premier Reviews journal in the realms of metabolism and endocrinology. Our commitment is reflected in the publication of refined, concise, and highly impactful articles that delve into cutting-edge topics, encompassing basic, translational, and clinical aspects. From state-of-the-art treatments for endocrine diseases to groundbreaking developments in molecular biology, TEM provides comprehensive coverage.
Explore recent advancements in diabetes, endocrine diseases, obesity, neuroendocrinology, immunometabolism, molecular and cellular biology, and a myriad of other areas through our journal.
TEM serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, lecturers, teachers, and students. Each monthly issue is anchored by Reviews and Opinion articles, with Reviews meticulously chronicling recent and significant developments, often contributed by leading researchers in specific fields. Opinion articles foster debate and hypotheses. Our shorter pieces include Science & Society, shedding light on issues at the intersection of science, society, and policy; Spotlights, which focus on exciting recent developments in the literature, and single-point hypotheses as Forum articles. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage responses to previously published TEM content in the form of Letters.
