Neighborhood deprivation in relation to lung cancer in individuals with type 2 diabetes-A nationwide cohort study (2005-2018).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neighborhood deprivation has been found associated with both type 2 diabetes and lung cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the potential association between neighborhood deprivation and lung cancer incidence or mortality in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The results may identify a new risk or prognostic factor for lung cancer in this important subgroup and help develop a more contextual approach to prevention that includes neighborhood environment.

Methods and findings

The study population included adults (n = 613,650) aged ≥ 30 years with type 2 diabetes during 2005 to 2018 in Sweden. Cox regression was used to compute hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for incidence or mortality of lung cancer associated with neighbor
