Incidence and Risk Factors of Diagnosed Young-Adult-Onset Type 2 Diabetes in the U.S.: The National Health Interview Survey 2016-2022.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To estimate the incidence and identify risk factors for diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) among young U.S. adults.

Research design and methods

We analyzed 142,884 adults aged 18-79 years with self-reported diabetes type from the cross-sectional National Health Interview Survey in 2016-2022, representing the noninstitutionalized U.S. civilian population. Incidence of diagnosed T2D was calculated for three age groups: young-adult onset (18-44 years), middle-age onset (45-64 years), and older-adult onset (65-79 years); the latter two groups were included to highlight the distinct risk factor profile of young-adult-onset T2D. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify risk factors for young-adult-onset T2D.
