Type 2 & other diabetes

Eleven-year trends in socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence and incidence of pharmacologically treated type 2 diabetes in France, 2010–2020

Diabetes MetabPublished Population-based cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Thus, type 2 diabetes prevention should include a proportionate universalism approach, proposing actions of greater intensity in the most deprived areas.

Study context

Population
French health consumers aged ≥45 years, European France, 2010–2020; pharmacologically treated T2D identified by validated algorithm, French National Health Data System24,228,526 (2010) to 29,772,928 (2020)
Exposure
FDep deprivation quintiles Q2–Q5 vs Q1
Outcome
Prevalence and incidence of pharmacologically treated T2D by FDep quintile (RR)
Follow-up
2010-2020
Methodological detailsarea-based deprivation index (FDep, 2015 version), log-linear Poisson model adjusted for year, age and French department, analysis by sex
  • Area-based deprivation index (FDep, 2015 version)
  • Log-linear Poisson model adjusted for year, age and French department
  • Analysis by sex

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Positive gradient in RRs of T2D prevalence and incidence by FDep quintiles over the study period
  • Strength of associations increased over the decade for prevalence in men and women, and for incidence in men, in the two most deprived quintiles

Observational data: associations, not effects.
