Rising tide: the growing global burden and inequalities of early-onset type 2 diabetes among youths aged 15–34 years (1990–2021)
The global burden of early-onset T2DM among youths is escalating, with significant disparities across different sociodemographic levels. The findings underscore the urgent need for targeted public health interventions. Future research should focus on the underlying factors driving these trends and explore strategies for effective prevention and management of early-onset T2DM.
