儿童2型糖尿病急剧上升,与邻里条件和经加工的饮食有关,肥胖症是最高风险因素。 Childhood type 2 diabetes is rising sharply, linked to neighborhood conditions and processed diets, with obesity the top risk factor.

儿童患2型糖尿病的人数急剧上升,现在影响到24-45%的年轻病人,平均诊断年龄为13岁。 Type 2 diabetes in children is rising sharply, now affecting 24%–45% of young patients, with diagnoses averaging age 13. 对174,000多名儿童进行的一项大型研究将邻里因素——例如行走能力低、垃圾、破坏行为和靠近图书馆——与高于个人行为的风险相联系。 A large study of over 174,000 children links neighborhood factors—such as low walkability, litter, vandalism, and proximity to libraries—to higher risk, beyond individual behaviors. 获得粮食援助方案,如SNAP和学校用餐,在减少粮食无保障的同时,与加工食品、糖类食品和脂肪食品的较高摄入量有关,可能增加风险。 Access to food assistance programs like SNAP and school meals, while reducing food insecurity, is associated with higher intake of processed, sugary, and fatty foods, potentially increasing risk. 肥胖症仍然是最强烈的预测器,超重儿童在25岁之前发育T2D的可能性高出四倍。 Obesity remains the strongest predictor, with overweight children four times more likely to develop T2D by age 25. 研究人员强调,应对这一流行病需要系统性变革,包括更好的街区设计、获得健康食品,以及更强有力的政策,如禁止饮料和税收等。 Researchers stress that addressing the epidemic requires systemic changes, including better neighborhood design, access to healthy food, and stronger policies like beverage bans and taxes.
