Importance: Evidence of the association between income fluctuation and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is scarce.
Objective: To investigate whether sustained low or high income and income changes are associated with incidence of T2D.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this population-based cohort study, more than 7.
Objective: There is limited evidence on the association of sustained low-income status, income changes, and all-cause mortality risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Research Design And Methods: Using the Korean Health Insurance Service database, we studied 1,923,854 adults with T2D (aged ≥30 years) without cardiovascular disease and cancer, who were enrolled from 2009 through 2012 and followed to the end of 2020 (median 10.8 years of follow-up).
