Cohort prevalence of young-onset type 2 diabetes in South Asia: A systematic review
Authors' conclusion
The burden of T2D among native South Asian children and young adults is higher than among migrant South Asians. This contrasts with traditional perceptions that T2D primarily affects older individuals and the South Asian diaspora i.e., those who have migrated from South Asia.
