The increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes worldwide is causing concern.
Genetic and environmental influences have been put forward to explain the
origins of this disease, but perhaps the most convincing contributory
factor is high body weight. The authors review the literature on the
subject to identify some of the predisposing factors influencing
healthcare practitioners' concerns about the issue.
