Body mass index (BMI) is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify overweight and obesity in adults. It is defined as a person&#8217;s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his height in meters (kg\/m<sup>2<\/sup>). For adults, World Health Organization (WHO) defines overweight is a BMI greater than or equal to 25 and obesity as BMI greater than or equal to 30.<\/p>\n<p>The progression of alarming figures at the global level of both type 2 diabetes and obesity let us speak of pandemics. There are over 400 million adults who are obese worldwide, and according to WHO in 2025 will be more than 700 million.<\/p>\n<p>As for diabetes, WHO itself confirms that there are now more than 346 million people affected worldwide. At this rate of growth, this figure is expected to double by 2030. And what is the relationship between these two pathologies? There is a resounding fact that unites them inexorably: 80% of type 2 diabetes appear after an increase in weight.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/onelink.to\/knahw6\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-7035 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/latam.patiadiabetes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/BANNERWEBeng-1.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/latam.patiadiabetes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/BANNERWEBeng-1.jpg\" alt=\"Prevention intervention diabetes ADA report\" width=\"1000\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271000%27%20height%3D%27275%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201000%20275%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271000%27%20height%3D%27275%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/latam.patiadiabetes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/BANNERWEBeng-1-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/latam.patiadiabetes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/BANNERWEBeng-1-768x211.jpg 768w, https:\/\/latam.patiadiabetes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/BANNERWEBeng-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><blockquote>\n<p>Pandemics of type 2 diabetes and obesity follow a similar, and scandalous, progression.
