Epidemiologic studies of obesity and diabetes, one of the oldest known chronic condition associations in medicine, antedated studies of obesity and cancer or heart disease. Joslin (2) was among the first to draw attention to the association between obesity and diabetes in a manner that would be acceptable to modern epidemiologists. In 1921, he described a study of weight and height in 1,000 diabetics compared by age with insured lives. He understood the importance of using consecutive cases and large samples, of actually measuring both height and weight, of giving some variation around the" normal standard" of the life insurance tables, of considering the degree of leanness as well as overweight, and the importance of the basic concept of risk ratios. Describing his data, Joslin wrote," The table as a whole shows that of the 1,000 diabetics considered, the maximum weights of only 10 per cent were below the standard weight zone, while 15 per cent came in that zone and 75 per cent above it"(2, p. 81).
