Even for individuals without clinical diabetes, RH may be a potential predictor of diabetes or impaired glucose metabolism. Therefore, it may be prudent for clinicians following people with RH to consider early monitoring or preventative approaches for diabetes. [1][2]
RH is also seen in a significant number of people with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as is insulin resistance (a hallmark of diabetes), suggesting a potential association among these conditions.[3][4]
Finally, in one study, individuals with RH had gut microbiota enriched with proinflammatory bacteria compared to healthy controls. This finding, while not conclusive, at least supports the hypothesis that a relationship exists between RH and proinflammatory conditions.[5][6]
