Do you think there is a connection between diabetes and obesity in Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) or do you think it’s the same as the general population?

This FH Awareness Day, Dr Elshorbagy sat down with Emma Print, FH Europe Foundation’s Community Engagement Manager, and an individual living with FH and elevated Lp(a). Together, they delve into the vital connection between obesity, diabetes, and FH, shedding light on this complex relationship and its impact on families around the world.

Dr Elshorbagy eloquently explains the connection between diabetes and obesity in FH and how they link to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Dr Elshorbagy discusses the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, particularly for those with FH.
