Prevalence and associated factors of prediabetes among primary health care attendees in the West bank of Palestine: a cross-sectional study
The study reveals a significant prevalence of prediabetes among Palestinian PHC attendees, with central obesity, male sex, older age, and family history of diabetes emerging as key associated factors. We recommend that health policymakers integrate prediabetes detection into primary care, and clinicians prioritize lifestyle interventions for individuals at risk.
