Open AccessEsther Li Ping Lim, Rebecca Hui Shan Ong et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023Referências: 4

Towards a Parsimonious Pathway Model of Modifiable and Mediating Risk Factors Leading to Diabetes Risk
Open AccessYi-Ching Lynn Ho, Vivian Shu Yi Lee et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021
Modifiable risk factors are of interest for chronic disease prevention. Few studies have assessed the system of modifiable and mediating pathways leading to diabetes mellitus. We aimed to develop a pathway model for Diabetes Risk with modifiable Lifestyle Risk factors as the start point and Physiological Load as the mediator. As there are no standardised risk thresholds for lifestyle behaviour, we derived a weighted composite for Lifestyle Risk. …
