Trajectories of body mass index and diabetes mellitus risk among elderly Chinese adults: A 10‐year longitudinal study

Among 148 970 participants, normoglycaemic elderly with increased BMI trajectories showed elevated DM and IFG risks in groups with underweight and normal weight. Regardless of the BMI trajectory, the risk of DM was increased in both the obese and overweight groups. For IFG elderly, the highest DM incidence was presented in the decreasing trajectories.
