Increase in the Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in Young Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
An increase in T2D incidence was seen in children <11 years old during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to prior. Multifactorial influences favoring an obesogenic environment may have had a stronger impact on the younger population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research is needed to help understand these trends and develop mitigation plans to reduce complications of early-onset obesity and insulin resistance.
