Screening and assessment of type 2 diabetes risk factors among Pacific youth attending community health events in Auckland
A significant proportion of young people aged 16-31 years were identified as obese and had a higher proportion of dietary and non-dietary risks for T2D. The results underscore the necessity for tailored prevention strategies, mainly aimed at Pacific and Māori youth, to mitigate the risk of future T2D development.
