New Obesity and Diabetes Study Findings Have Been Reported by Investigators at University of Guadalajara (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity, Cesarean Section Delivery, and Lack of Exclusive Breastfeeding Exposure In Patients From the...).

Researchers at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico conducted a study to investigate the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adulthood, cesarean section delivery, and incomplete full breastfeeding (FBF) in individuals from the metropolitan area of Guadalajara.
