Incident diabetes among older Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women with breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The risk of diabetes among Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) women after breast cancer is unclear. This study estimated the risk of incident type II diabetes in older ANHPI and older non-Hispanic White (NHW) women with breast cancer from the US National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Medicare linked claims.

Methods

A matched cohort of 7122 older ANHPI and 21 365 older NHW women with breast cancer were identified from SEER-Medicare between 2000 and 2017. To assess the risk of incident type II diabetes after breast cancer, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated using the Cox proportional-hazards regression model.

Results

During the mean 8 years of follow-up, 9.3% of ol
