Living near fast food outlets in South Asia associated with increased risk of Type 2 diabetes

Globally, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing. A study publishing April 26th in the open access journal PLOS Medicine by Marisa Miraldo at Imperial College Business School, London, United Kingdom, and colleagues suggests that living near fast food restaurants increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
