Some psychiatric disorders significantly associated with increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes
Some psychiatric disorders significantly associated with increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes suggests a new study published in the JAMA Network Open.
Because type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become increasingly prevalent among young adults, the study of the association of T2D with psychiatric disorders in young adults is important for early detection and timely intervention. A study was done to determine whether a diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder is associated with increased risk of developing T2D in young adults.
In this large-scale prospective cohort study of young adults, 5 psychiatric disorders were significantly associated with an increased risk of developing T2D. Young adults with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in particular were at a higher risk of T2D. These results have important implications for early detection of and timely intervention in T2D for young adults with psychiatric disorders.
