摘要
Studies into the relationship between diabetes and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have produced conflicting results. In young patients, diabetes is a consistent risk factor for ALS; in older patients, diabetes protects against ALS in Europe, but increases the risk of ALS in Asia. Environment and genotype might both contribute to this variation.
