TL;DR
The relations between change in adult weight and the risk for noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus among women during 14 years of follow-up were quantified.
Abstract
The excess risk for diabetes with even modest and typical adult weight gain is substantial. These findings support the importance of maintaining a constant body weight throughout adult life and suggest that the 1990 U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines that allow a substantial weight gain after 35 years of age are misleading.
