HealthDay (11/30, Preidt) reports research indicates that “people with psychiatric disorders often have to deal with…higher rates of type 2 diabetes [T2D] than the general population,” researchers concluded in an umbrella review encompassing “32 reviews based on 245 studies that included people with 11 categories of psychiatric disorders: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, substance use disorder, anxiety disorder, eating disorder, intellectual disability, psychosis, sleep disorder, dementia and a mixed group with different types of disorders.”
Medwire News (11/30, Cowen) reports, “The prevalence of” T2D “in people with psychiatric disorder…often substantially exceeds global population-based estimates of 6% to 9%,” the umbrella review revealed. For example, “people with schizophrenia had a” T2D “prevalence of 10.1%, while the rates were 10.0%, 9.1%, and 8.1% in those with a mixed group of psychiatric disorders, depression, and an intellectual disability, respectively.” The findings were published online Nov. 29 in the journal Diabetologia.
