Background: Previous research shows that obesity, unhealthy eating, physical inactivity and a high use of psychotropic medications are prevalent among persons with intellectual disability (ID), which might increase the risk of type 2-diabetes (T2DM). This study aims to investigate: (1) whether persons with ID have an increased risk of T2DM compared with an age- and sex-matched reference group and (2) differences in T2DM risk by sex, birth year, ID inclusion diagnosis and ID severity.

Methods: This study is a nationwide cohort study, including 65 293 persons with ID and 659 723 persons in an age- and sex-matched reference group without ID.
