Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism Jun 04, 2021
Bardugo A, Derazne E, Zucker I, et al. - This nationwide, population-based study was undertaken to ascertain the risk of type 2 diabetes in adulthood among Israeli adolescents experiencing thyroid disorders. This study included 1,382,560 adolescents (mean age 17.3 years). Participants were assessed prior to military recruitment during 1988–2007, and were followed until December 31, 2016. A mean follow-up of 18.5 years revealed that type 2 diabetes diagnosis was received by 1.12% (69 of 6,152) of adolescents with thyroid disorders vs 0.77% of adolescents without thyroid disorders. Findings revealed that a risk for early-onset type 2 diabetes, in both men and women, was conferred by thyroid disorders diagnosed in adolescence.
