Abstract:
Background/Objectives: Diabetes mellitus represents a major public health burden in Hungary and is associated with sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. This study examined cross-sectional associations between habitual dietary intake and self-reported diabetes prevalence in a nationally representative Hungarian sample. Methods: Data from 5603 participants aged ≥15 years in the 2019 European Health Interview Survey (EHIS) were analyzed. Survey-weighted logistic regression models assessed associations between dietary variables and self-reported diabetes, adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), education, income, employment, and physical activity. Dietary variables were energy-adjusted using the residual method. Results: Higher odds of diabetes were observed among individuals who reported obesity (OR: 2.70; 95% CI: 1.96-3.72), lower educational attainment (OR: 0.73 for high school vs.

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,...
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...
