Objectives:
The aim of this study was to explore the factors influencing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among adults in Zhejiang Province.
Methods:
A stratified cluster sampling technique was employed, and adults without known diabetes were included in the analysis. Food consumption was assessed using three consecutive days of 24-h dietary recall. Blood samples were collected to measure fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood lipids [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), 25-(OH)D vitamin D (VD), and vitamin A (VA). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were also measured. Ordinal regression was used to explore factors influencing T2DM.
Results:
The analysis included a total of 5,804 adults. The prevalence rates of T2DM and prediabetes were 5.5 and 5.8%, respectively. Significant differences were observed in age, sex, nutritional status, hypertension, and blood lipid levels among adults with normal fasting blood glucose, prediabetes, and T2DM (p < 0.05). Adults aged 55 years and above, those who were overweight or obese, those with hypertension, and those with higher TG levels had a greater risk of developing diabetes (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
This study revealed that adults aged 55 years and above, those who are overweight or obese, those with hypertension, and those with higher TG levels have a greater risk of developing diabetes. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to manage these risk factors in the prevention and management of T2DM.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...
Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
