Summary: The prevalence of T2D in the Niena community was 7.5%, with rates of 8.6% for females and 5.6% for males. Age, family history of diabetes, hypertension, waist circumference, and fetal macrosomia were significantly associated with T2D. 61.3% of T2D subjects were unaware of their diabetic status before the study.

Summary: This study found that long-term exposure to herbicides is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes among the Chinese rural population. Furthermore, the effects of herbicides mixtures on T2DM and prediabetes are still unclear in this population. This study suggests that the impact of herbicides exposure on diabetes should be paid attention to and measures should be taken to avoid herbicides mixtures exposure.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a Chinese population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Qingpu, Shanghai. The prevalence of DR was 10.1%, with non-proliferative DR being more common. Higher fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobinA1c were identified as known risk factors for DR, while no association was found between lipid indicators and DR. Additionally, higher levels of urea nitrogen and urinary albumin were associated with an increased risk of DR.

Summary: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired fasting blood glucose (IFG) is high among adults in India, while the levels of awareness, treatment, and control are still low. There are significant differences in these levels between different age groups. Multifaceted approaches, including improved awareness, adherence to treatment, and better preventive and counseling services, are crucial to halt the development of diabetes in India.

Summary: The study found that late midpoint of sleep, early midpoint of sleep, and long night sleep duration were all associated with a higher prevalence of T2DM. The combination of a late midpoint of sleep and long night sleep duration further increased the prevalence of T2DM, particularly more pronounced in women.

Summary: There were no significant associations found between serum PAEs levels and T2DM in the overall population, but current alcohol drinkers exposed to higher levels of DnBP, EDBP, and ELMW had a higher risk of T2DM. Furthermore, significant potential interactions were observed among certain PAEs and drinking status on T2DM risk.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major health burden for the elderly, affecting approximately 25% of those over 65 years old. Sarcopenia, characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, has been identified as a new complication in elderly individuals with T2DM. It is important for researchers and clinicians to understand the risk factors and associations of sarcopenia in T2DM patients in order to provide appropriate therapeutic interventions.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the changes in body weight and cardiovascular risk factors and analyze their association in a Chinese population with type 2 diabetes. The results showed that weight loss was beneficial for hemoglobin A1c and triglycerides, while weight gain resulted in worsened blood glucose, lipid profiles, and blood pressure.

Summary: A study conducted in a rural town in Shandong province revealed a relatively high prevalence of T2DM among residents over 60 years old, with higher rates in females than males. The control rate of diabetes was suboptimal, especially in terms of exercise and behavior modification. Further optimization of measures, particularly in the use of anti-diabetic drugs, is needed to achieve ideal effects.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the awareness of hypertension and its determinants among a rural population of Jazan region, Saudi Arabia. The results showed that the prevalence of diagnosed hypertension increased with age, with women having a higher prevalence than men. Some participants had limited knowledge about their blood pressure, and some believed that pharmaceuticals are insufficient in curing hypertension. Therefore, it is necessary to increase awareness of hypertension in rural areas and assess patient adherence to prescribed medication.

Summary: In a rural Chinese population, both too short and too long sleep duration increased the risk of T2DM, with women who have less sleep duration having a higher risk. Abnormal sleep also affects metabolic markers and blood indicators, with a more pronounced impact on those with longer sleep durations.

Summary: This study examined the independent and combined effects of napping and nocturnal sleep duration on stroke. The results showed that male nappers had a higher risk of stroke, and both short and excessive nocturnal sleep duration as well as long total 24-hour sleep duration were associated with increased odds of stroke. Long naps and prolonged nocturnal sleep duration had a joint effect on stroke.

Summary: This study evaluates the independent and combined effects of ozone and physical activity on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in a Chinese rural adult population. The results show that long-term exposure to ozone is associated with increased odds of T2DM and higher FBG levels, and these effects are attenuated with increasing physical activity levels. Additionally, there is a negative additive interaction between ozone exposure and physical activity level on T2DM risk, suggesting that physical activity might be an effective method to reduce the burden of T2DM attributed to ozone exposure.
