Background: Disparities in the development of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) are associated with various social determinants, including sex/gender, migration background, living arrangement, education, and household income. This study applied an intersectional perspective to map social disparities and investigate intersectional effects regarding the onset of T2D among older adults across Europe.
Methods: We used data from the Survey of Health and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) to conduct an Intersectional Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (I-MAIHDA) of T2D onset.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used a population-based sample in Germany, analyzing data from 2,253 adults through the German Diabetes Risk Score to assess individual risk factors over a 5-year period.
- * Findings showed significant variation in diabetes risk based on education and gender; higher education in women correlated with lower risk, while lower education in men indicated a higher risk, with social determinants being the primary influence on these differences.
Introduction: Hip and knee osteoarthritis are associated with functional limitations, pain and restrictions in quality of life and the ability to work. Furthermore, with growing prevalence, osteoarthritis is increasingly causing (in)direct costs. Guidelines recommend exercise therapy and education as primary treatment strategies.

We examined the association between chronic stress and the German Diabetes Risk Score (GDRS) among adults without diabetes in Germany.
Methods: The study population consisted of 4654 persons aged 18 to 64 years without known diabetes drawn from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (2008-2011).
Background: Diabetes-related distress (DRD) can affect diabetes management adversely. In lack of population-based data, the frequency and determinants of DRD among adults with diabetes in Germany remain controversial.
Methods: This study included 1367 adults with diabetes who participated in a nationwide health telephone survey conducted among German adults aged 18 years and older in 2017.
