(2025) This condition, characterized by progressive muscle weakness, is linked to increased cardiovascular risks partly due to obesity and cardiomyopathy, a disease affecting the heart muscle.
These findings emphasize the importance of early screening for metabolic issues to better manage the health of children with DMD Thamcharoenvipas et al.
The study underscores the need to monitor and manage metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, causing high blood sugar levels.
Early detection and treatment of these metabolic conditions could help reduce some long-term health complications associated with DMD.
