Diabetic Medicine Sep 30, 2020
Clemens KK, Le B, Anderson KK, et al. - Utilizing health administrative databases linked to the Canadian Community Health Survey, researchers performed a population‐based cohort study to explore the connection between childhood food insecurity and incident diabetes. The sample consisted of children aged < 18 years from Ontario, Canada. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to investigate the connection between childhood food insecurity and incident diabetes, adjusted sequentially for important clinical and socio‐economic risk factors. Thirty-four thousand forty-two children were included, of whom 5.3% lived in food‐insecure households. While food‐insecure children are a medically and socially vulnerable population, they do not seem to be at elevated risk of incident diabetes for a median of 9.5 years.
