Key result
Higher HbA1c is linked to worse socio-behavioral factors, including poorer health and lower parental education.
Why the study?
Hispanic adults have increased incidence of type 2 diabetes and certain cancers potentially linked to metabolic health, but socio-behavioral correlates of metabolic syndrome and inflammation are not well understood.
Cross-Sectional (n=212)
No
Effect estimate: r = -0.32
p-value: p=<0.001
Socio-behavioral factors, including social support and parental education, are negatively correlated with HbA1c in a Hispanic cohort, highlighting their potential role in metabolic health and diabetes management.

May link parental education and social support to glycemic control in Hispanics; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions pending larger trials.
Frietze et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic and inflammatory risk (n=212). Socio-behavioral factors was evaluated on Correlation between HbA1c and mother's education (r = -0.32, p=<0.001). Higher HbA1c levels were negatively associated with several socio-behavioral factors, including overall health, quality of life, physical health, social support, and parental education.
