Diabetes prevalence and risk factors of early-onset adult diabetes: results from the Indonesian family life survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes is increasing rapidly in South-East Asia. Studies have reported typical risk factors associated with all-age adult diabetes and highlighted the roles of economic transition and childhood development factors in diabetes in later life. However, little is known about whether these factors were associated with young adult diabetes risk.

Objectives

The study has two main aims: (1) estimate diabetes prevalence among adult participants of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), and (2) identify childhood development factors associated with early-onset adult diabetes (diagnosed between age 20 and 40) in Indonesia.

Methods

Data were taken from adults participating in 4^th and 5^th IFLS (in 2007 and 2014) and linked to childhood history
