A new Cincinnati Children’s hospital study says among other things…. A child’s blood pressure, weight and blood sugar levels can predict their risk of developing type two diabetes later on as an adult.
Doctors looked at data on about nineteen-hundred people from childhood to adulthood.
They found people are more likely to be diabetic when they’re thirty-nine if they had high blood pressure, a high body mass index, high blood sugar and triglyceride levels, and low good cholesterol in childhood.
They found childhood high blood pressure and high blood sugar also increased the risk of diabetes at age nineteen.
Researchers hope the findings will help doctors start identifying and treating at-risk patients early to prevent a more serious health issue from developing later on.

The study appears in the journal “archives of pediatrics and adolescent medicine.
