Relations of nutritional intake to age, sex and body mass index in Japanese elderly patients with type 2 diabetes: The Japanese Elderly Diabetes Intervention Trial
Geriatrics and Gerontology International, 03/30/2012
Yoshimura Y et al. – An increased energy intake per kilogram of standard bodyweight correlated with increase of body mass index (BMI) in men, but not in women. Intakes of soft drinks in both sexes and alcohol in women correlated with increase of BMI. These results suggest there are sex differences in the pathogenesis of obesity in elderly type 2 diabetic patients from an aspect of nutritional intake.
