Asthma in youth and early-onset type 2 diabetes: A nationwide study of 1.72 million Israeli adolescents

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism Jul 27, 2021

Shapiro M, Arbel C, Zucker I, et al. - Since the prevalence of both asthma and early onset diabetes is on the rise, however, the connection between them remains unclear, researchers conducted this nationwide, population-based study to explore a possible correlation of asthma at adolescence with type 2 diabetes in young adulthood. The sample consisted of 1,718,541 Israeli adolescents (59% males; mean age 17.3 years; range 16-19 years), examined before compulsory military service during 1992-2016, with data linked to the Israeli National Diabetes Registry. Adolescents who have active asthma are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. This appears to be related to disease severity, independent of adolescent obesity status, visible before the age of 35 years, and becoming more pronounced in recent years.
