A systematic review of the major risk factors for type two diabetes among Aboriginal Australians.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the sociodemographic, anthropometric, biochemical, lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) among First Nations Australians.

Methods

A systematic review of prospective cohorts and cross-sectional studies was conducted. Electronic data sources (MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, CINHAL, and PsycINFO) were searched for peer-reviewed articles until August 2023. We reviewed observational and interventional studies on T2D that reported sociodemographic, anthropometric, lifestyle, and biochemical risk factors for Australian First Nations people. Narrative synthesis was applied without meta-analysis. We highlighted the major risk factors for T2D by reporting the most significant findings from individual studies in the results.
