- Abstract
This article evaluates the factors contributing to the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the ¿stanbul Kartal Region. The study collected data from 566 T2DM patients and found that female gender and family history decreased the age of onset, while the total number of pregnancies increased the age at diagnosis. The study suggests that T2DM screening should be performed earlier in women and/or those with a family history. The study also found a weak correlation between the age of onset and the number of pregnancies, but no correlation with BMI. The study concludes that female gender and maternal family history are important factors in lowering the age of T2DM onset.
