Prevalence, Demographic and Clinical Characteristics of Individuals with Early Onset Type 2 Diabetes in the USA: an NHANES Analysis 1999–2020

These findings suggest that early onset T2D may disproportionately affect underserved populations with a higher likelihood of having cardiometabolic risk factors, suggesting a more aggressive disease that warrants the need for better diagnoses and treatment. Further research is needed to explore the potential link between cardiometabolic profile, risk of complications and longer-term cardiovascular outcomes in people with early onset T2D.
