Gravity, skeletal muscle, and ectopic steatosis: a new framework for insulin resistance in diabetic liver and pancreatic disease.

Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

A narrative literature review proposing a novel integrative framework connecting gravity, muscle activity, and ectopic fat to insulin resistance; raises conceptual questions rather than testing them with new empirical data.

Association between fear of hypoglycemia and quality of life and sleep quality among individuals with diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 observational studies with pooled correlation coefficients showing consistent negative associations between fear of hypoglycemia and quality of life (r = -0.49) and positive associations with sleep impairment (r = 0.36), though cross-sectional design and high heterogeneity preclude causal inference.

Self-efficacy in adopting health-promoting behaviors and metabolic health outcomes: A comparative analysis across adults populations.

Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

Cross-sectional observational study with exploratory findings on self-efficacy and metabolic syndrome; authors explicitly state findings are exploratory and require longitudinal confirmation, limiting causal inference.

Temporal trends in unhealthy lifestyle behaviors among adults with diabetes in Iran: steps surveys, 2007-2021.

Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

A large, nationally representative surveillance study documenting worsening temporal trends in established risk factors for diabetes outcomes, confirming and quantifying a known public health concern without introducing novel interventions or mechanisms.

Association between dietary inflammatory index and sarcopenia in overweight or obese adults: a cross-sectional study.

Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

Cross-sectional analysis of a large national sample showing independent associations between dietary inflammatory indices and sarcopenia odds, with identified mediators, but lacking longitudinal design, causality, or intervention evidence to guide practice change.

AUG 14, 2026 · JOURNAL ARTICLE

The weight of risk: epidemiological trends in mortality involving cardiac arrest and obesity in the United States (1999-2023).

Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

A descriptive epidemiological analysis of mortality trends using administrative data; establishes rising burden and disparities but lacks mechanistic insight, intervention, or causal inference.

AUG 12, 2026 · JOURNAL ARTICLE

Diagnostic value of insulin resistance indices for colorectal cancer: a study using the data from NHANES 2009-2018.

Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

Cross-sectional analysis of a large national survey identifying two insulin resistance indices independently associated with colorectal cancer risk, with one showing moderate discriminatory performance, but requiring prospective validation.

Relationship between cardiometabolic alterations and frailty in Brazilian urban and rural older adults.

Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

Cross-sectional analysis of a large nationally representative cohort confirming the known association between cardiometabolic burden and frailty in older adults, with a dose-response pattern but no causal inference or novel intervention.
