Social and Behavioral Factors Associated With Diabetes in Southern California vs the US
In this cross-sectional study, key correlates of diagnosed diabetes in Southern California included physical inactivity, access to health care, and food insecurity, while nationally, obesity, food stamp participation, older age (≥65 years), and racial or ethnic minority status were also key. These findings point to possible regional differences in the factors linked to diabetes prevalence and highlight the need for further research to determine their significance and potential for guiding targeted interventions.
