If scientists acknowledge, younger people are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to older people.
The claim came from a medical study in Germany.
The German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke's research reviewed data on more than 27,000 people aged 35 to 65, previously citing the dangers of diet, lifestyle behaviors and other dangerous diseases, including cancer.
They discovered that every 4-inch increase in height reduces the risk of a person being diabetic type two by 41 percent, and by 33 percent in women.
Researchers found height to be important for predicting the disease even after examining the underlying factors such as age, body weight, and level of physical activity, smoking, and others.
Earlier research reports linked small stature with an increased risk of heart and metabolic problems.
Scientists have not yet been able to fully understand the relationship between height and disease, but new research has indicated that the liver of an older person may have higher amounts of fat, which researchers think will lead to diabetes.
However, research has found the relationship between small stature and diabetes and does not prove that short duration directly leads to type 2 diabetes.
However, researchers say that younger people should be aware of the risks associated with their diabetes and blood vessels.
Researchers also discovered that longer legs reduce the risk of diabetes type two, especially in men.
He said the results indicate that in younger people, cardiovascular metabolic risk factors are higher and that the risk of diabetes is higher than those of taller ones.
According to them, the results suggest that a person's height can also be potentially helpful in predicting diabetes, such as other traditional factors such as obesity or other.
