"Yo-yo" dieting --- repeatedly losing and gaining weight -- can significantly increase risk of kidney disease among people with type 1 diabetes, a new study warns.

Body weight cycling, also known as “yo-yo dieting,” is associated with a 25%-36% increased risk for diabetic kidney disease in patients with T1D, a retrospective study showed.

Body-weight cycling, sometimes referred to as yo-yo dieting, may be harmful to the kidneys for people with type 1 diabetes, according to retrospective data analysis.

Repeated weight loss and gain — known as yo-yo dieting — has been linked to kidney disease in type 1 diabetes patients. A recent study found that individuals with greater weight fluctuations were more likely to experience kidney decline,

Body-weight cycling (also known as yo-yo dieting) has been shown to significantly increase the risk of kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes, regardless of body mass index (BMI) and other traditional risk factors,

Body-weight cycling (also known as yo-yo dieting) has been shown to significantly increase the risk of kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes, regardless of body mass index (BMI) and other traditional risk factors,

Chronic kidney disease has been linked to yo-yo dieting (also known as body-weight cycling) in the general population, which interested investigators in potential links between these weight fluctuations and increased risk of renal events among a population with type 1 diabetes.

We showed that high body-weight variability is associated with increased risk of different outcomes of diabetic kidney disease progressions (DKD) in people with type 1 diabetes, independently of traditional DKD risk factors,
