Why the study?

Diabetes incidence had not been fully examined across a diverse cohort of U.S. Hispanic/Latinos.

Key Points

To examine diabetes incidence and healthcare factors across a diverse prospective cohort of U.S. Hispanic and Latino adults.
Prospective cohort study of individuals aged 18–74 years from four U.S. metropolitan areas assessed at baseline (2008–2011), annually via telephone, and at a second examination (2014–2017).
A total of 11,619 participants returned for the follow-up examination to assess incident diabetes, disease awareness, treatment patterns, and glycemic control.
The overall age-adjusted diabetes incidence rate was 22.1 cases per 1,000 person-years.
Diabetes incidence was highest among individuals of Puerto Rican and Mexican backgrounds, those aged ≥45 years, and participants with a BMI ≥30 kg/m².
Significant differences emerged across heritage groups, age brackets, and BMI categories in diabetes awareness, treatment, and insurance coverage, but glycemic control did not differ significantly.
