Belly Fat To Blame For Higher Rate Of Diabetes In U.S...
Dear Reader,
Rates of diabetes are higher in the United States than in England; now research has uncovered why. Seems middle aged Americans have more fat in the belly area than their counterparts across the Atlantic. A team from University College London, along with the nonprofit research group RAND Corporation, reported back in 2006 on the differences between older Americans and their English peers. At that time diabetes incidence in the U.S. was two times as high as in England.
When the British researchers explored the issue further they found that belly fat was largely to blame for the higher incidence of diabetes in the U.S., most notably for women. Even though a growing number in the U.S. are obese, this wasn't enough to fully account for the difference in prevalence. About 16% of American men, compared to 11% of English men report having diabetes. For women, almost 14% of American women have diabetes, compared to only 7% of their English peers.
The data used in the study comes from nationally representative health surveys conducted in both countries that included subjects between the ages of 52 and 85. In the U.S. information came from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; in England the English Longitudinal Study of Aging. Both surveys use a combination of self reported information and objective biological markers of diabetes itself or the risk factors associated with the condition.
The data showed no big differences in the well-established risk factors for diabetes between the two nations. American's had somewhat higher BMIs and were a bit older, while the English subjects tended to smoke and had less formal education. Still there wasn't enough variation in these factors to account for the difference in diabetes prevalence according to the researchers.
The only major difference between subjects from both countries was waist size. Waist sizes for the American women in the study were 5 centimeters larger than their English peers. As to the men, American males had waist measurements that were 3 centimeters larger than English males of the same age. Even Americans who weren't considered overweight using the BMI scale still had larger waistline measurements than those in England.
We know that belly fat is super dangerous because of where it accumulates in the body. It affects many vital organs, including those involved with regulating blood sugar.
But why do Americans have so much more belly fat than the English?

Belly Fat To Blame For Higher Rate Of Diabetes In U.S... Continued...
The standard of living in both countries is roughly the same so no one can say
for sure, though many experts suspect that diet and exercise play a part. People
in the U.S. tend to eat a high fat diet and not get a lot of exercise, whereas
those in England eat a bit better and get more exercise. We typically walk half
as much during a day as those in Europe - 5,000 steps in the U.S., 10,000 in
Europe.
Another key point? The findings make the case that BMI might not be the best
predictor of diabetes risk in anyone over 50 according to James P. Smith, Ph.D.,
a senior economist with RAND Corporation. It may be that waist size is far more
predictive of developing type 2 diabetes.
If you're concerned about your own risk of developing diabetes, and you're carrying
around more belly fat than you should be, now is the time to make some changes.
Watch your diet, cut calories and get active.
To your good health,
