Demographics, lifestyle, comorbidities, prediabetes, and mortality

JAMA Network
Peer-Reviewed Publication

About The Study: Stratified analyses in this study revealed that prediabetes was significantly associated with mortality only among younger adults (ages 20-54), highlighting the importance of age-specific interventions. Lifestyle behaviors, limited health care access, and life stage challenges may contribute to the increased mortality risk in younger adults. Early-onset health problems in this group may also reflect stronger genetic predispositions, leading to more rapid disease progression and more severe health outcomes. These findings underscore the need for tailored diabetes prevention programs targeting young adults—such as flexible, virtual, and peer-led options—to increase accessibility and engagement. Routine screening and timely referrals to age-appropriate programs are essential.
