Metabolic health

In the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (820,000 people), diabetes at 50 meant about six fewer years of life. Prediabetes is the on-ramp — usually reversible with weight, diet, and movement — and most people who have it don’t know, which is why a recent blood-sugar test earns points here on its own.

The research

  • Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration, NEJM 2011 — diabetes at 50 ≈ −6y
  • Rawshani et al., NEJM 2018 — T2D with all risk factors at target ≈ little excess mortality
  • Tabák et al., Lancet 2012 — prediabetes progression and reversibility
