5 Characteristics of People at High Risk for Diabesity

"Diabesity" is the combined state of diabetes and obesity. Understanding high-risk characteristics can help with early self-screening and prevention.

5 Characteristics of High-Risk Diabesity Groups

• Large Waist Circumference: ≥90 cm for men, ≥80 cm for women, indicating potentially excessive visceral fat
• High Body Fat Percentage: Even with a normal BMI, one can still be "skinny fat" (>25% for men, >30% for women)
• "Three Highs" Warning Signs: High blood pressure, high blood lipids, elevated fasting blood sugar
• Preference for Sweet and High-Calorie Foods: Eating out, sugary drinks, and sweets increase the burden on insulin
• Lack of Exercise and Sedentary Lifestyle: Sitting for over 6 hours, insufficient activity (less than 150 minutes per week)
