Single and combined effects of inflammatory markers on 10  year diabetes incidence: The mediating role of adiposity—Results from the ATTICA cohort study

ConclusionsThe reported results underline the significant role of individual IL‐6 or combinations of CRP‐IL‐6 and CRP‐fibrinogen in diabetes prediction. Adiposity seems to be primarily responsible for an increase in inflammatory markers, leading through this mechanism to insulin resistance and increasing diabetes risk.
