The World Health Organization (WHO) refers that the global prevalence of diabetes has increased rapidly;Even diabetes in women is more common and has also increased.
In this regard, a study by the University of Virginia Medicine reveals that women with wider hip or what has been named as “curves”, have a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Mothers.If the mother of a wide hip woman also had that physical characteristic, the risk increases, according to researchers.
The wide hip and the wide abdomen have also been associated with a gene, the KLF14 gene that generates body fat distribution mainly in those areas.
These body characteristics also interfere with blood glucose control.
The risk is higher in women who inherit their mothers' gene, they also explain:
“One of the interesting things is that if you observe this gene in your fat, there is no correlation with your total fat, with your BMI.The correlation is with the fat distribution. "
The KLF14 gene acts on adipocytes or fat cells
Metek, research leader admits that the specificity of the initial results has baffled them and his team.
CIVELEK refers:
"It is no longer about how genes affect the body, but how genes affect specific parts of the body, and not all bodies."
Researchers conclude that genetic variation specifically affects the distribution of hip and abdomen fat.

This disease is an important cause of conditions such as renal failure, blindness, stroke, myocardial infarction and lower member amputations.
In 2015 alone, diabetes was the cause of 1.6 million deaths according to WHO.
Half of the deaths consequence of hyperglycemia occur before 70 years of age.
