Lift weights like your life (and brain) depends on it

A massive new real-world study — tracking over 1.3 million adults — just underscored how crucial muscle mass is for metabolic health. Researchers examined predicted lean body mass index (LBMI), an easy-to-calc clinical metric, and found a striking pattern: lower LBMI consistently predicted higher diabetes risk in both men and women.

Compared to those in the highest LBMI quartile, men in the lowest quartile had a 27% higher risk of developing diabetes, while women had a 10% higher risk — even after adjusting for confounders.

Using flexible spline models, the relationship was crystal clear: as LBMI drops, diabetes risk climbs. The big takeaway? Muscle isn’t just for aesthetics — it's a metabolic organ, and maintaining lean mass may be one of the most powerful (and underrated) levers we have for diabetes prevention, which as you know from following me, is one of the best ways to protect your brain as well!
