Young-onset type 2 diabetes and associations with high disability rate, low educational level and immigrant background: a study from Norwegian general practice
Lifetime risk of being dependent on disability benefits was substantially higher for individuals with YOD than in later onset T2D. Non-Western and particularly south Asian backgrounds were associated with increased YOD risk. Low education was an important YOD risk factor only for people with Norwegian background.
