The Claim
In 60-year-old men, the combination of obesity and glucose intolerance is associated with reduced insulin-stimulated glucose utilization in adipose tissue, whereas obesity alone or obesity with hyperinsulinemia alone does not show this association.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
For 60-year-old men, having both obesity and blood sugar problems (but not just being obese or being obese with high insulin) is linked to their fat tissue not responding well to insulin to take in sugar.
See the scientific wording
Obesity accompanied by glucose intolerance (but not obesity alone or with hyperinsulinemia alone) is associated with reduced insulin-stimulated glucose utilization in adipose tissue of 60-year-old men
What the research says
1 studyThe study tested different combinations of obesity, high insulin, and high blood sugar in 60-year-old men and found that only the combination of obesity plus glucose intolerance (not obesity alone or with high insulin) reduced the ability of insulin to stimulate sugar use in fat tissue.
