Cumulative central obesity, assessed by the Weight‐adjusted‐waist Index (WWI), is associated with adverse brain structural outcomes over a 16‐year study period, particularly in females. These structural associations primarily involve white matter injury and frontal atrophy, and are potentially mediated by metabolic inflammation and hemodynamic stress ...

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Molecular Staging, Risk Factors, Therapeutics, and Emerging Trends
The heterogeneous landscape of DPN can be unified through a tripartite pathogenic model encompassing progressive stages of metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and overt neuronal damage. Within this framework, six clinical subtypes were identified, namely, hyperglycemia‐driven, dyslipidemia‐driven, inflammation‐driven, dysvascularity‐driven ...
