TL;DR: Diabetes is no longer predominantly a disease of older persons, with almost half of the people with diabetes in the 40- to 59-year age range, and low- and middle-income countries face the added challenge of dealing with a dual burden of disease.

TL;DR: Baseline BMI, most recent BMI and weight gain after GDM were significantly and positively associated with risk of progression from GDM to type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of usual sleep duration was conducted using 18 population-based cohorts totaling 47 180 individuals of European ancestry, and the strongest association was identified at two loci, located on chromosome 2, in an intergenic region 35- to 80-kb upstream from the thyroid-specific transcription factor PAX8.

TL;DR: This is the first study to confirm the link between early and late menopause and breast cancer risk using genetic information and identifies both common and low-frequency coding variants associated with ANM.

TL;DR: Improvement of diet quality is associated with less weight gain, especially in younger women or overweight individuals, and in the younger cohort (NHS II) than in the older cohorts.
