Key result
Baseline anxiety was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident diabetes (OR 1.47; 95% CI 1.23-1.75), whereas diabetes showed no association with incident anxiety.

Is there a longitudinal association between baseline anxiety and incident diabetes, or baseline diabetes and incident anxiety, in individuals aged 16 or older?
Population

Anxiety screening may aid diabetes risk stratification; extends meta-analytic evidence linking mental health to incident metabolic disease.
Meta-Analysis (n=1,848,909)
Is there a longitudinal association between baseline anxiety and incident diabetes, or baseline diabetes and incident anxiety, in individuals aged 16 or older?
Odds Ratio: 1.47 (95% CI 1.23–1.75)
Baseline anxiety is associated with an increased risk of incident diabetes, adding to the evidence that poor mental health increases metabolic risk.
Smith et al. (2018) conducted a meta-analysis in Diabetes and Anxiety (n=1,848,909). Baseline anxiety vs. No baseline anxiety was evaluated on Incident diabetes (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.23-1.75). Baseline anxiety was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident diabetes (OR 1.47; 95% CI 1.23-1.75), whereas diabetes showed no association with incident anxiety.
