Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

T2DM and PD-related mortality has surged over the past two decades, particularly since 2015, with significant racial, sex-based, and regional disparities. Targeted public health strategies are needed to address these growing health concerns.
