“…Moreover, in Nigeria, couples tend to have regular feeding habits, mostly energy-dense foods such as cassava, yam, and rice, which may increase the risk of T2DM (Aladeniyi et al 2017). However, the present study is inconsistent with Haines et al (2018) andde Oliveira et al (2020) who reported a lower frequency of T2DM among married couples than singles.…”

Background The literature shows that ABO blood groups and demographic characteristics influence susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may be used to stem the rising incidence of the disease. However, these associations vary geographically, which necessitates the need to determine the association in every locality. This study determined the ABO blood groups and demographic characteristics of 486 type 2 diabetic patients with no family history in selected hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria. Results The results showed that age class 50–59 years (35.8%) was the most susceptible to T2DM, while age class 30–39 years (8.6%) was the least. Female diabetics accounted for 56.8%, while males constituted 43.2%. Diabetes was less prevalent among singles (9.5%), while married couples had the highest prevalence (55.6%). Primary school leavers were the least diabetic (9.9%), while secondary school leavers were the most diabetic (41.6%). Approximately 59.05% of the patients were overweight, while 5.35% were underweight. Blood group O positive was the most prevalent (38.5%; p < 0.05), followed by A positive (20.2%; p < 0.05), and the least was AB negative (4.5%). Severe conditions were less common among groups O positive and A positive (p < 0.05) compared to other blood groups. Thus, the relatively high prevalence of T2DM among blood groups O and A could be due to natural selection owing to their fitness. Conclusions ABO blood groups and demographic characteristics influenced the prevalence of T2DM in the city. Residents with blood groups O and A positive should pay special attention to T2DM.

“… 14 Finally, in a recent study based on a population in Brazil that included race and socioeconomic factors, only a combined covariate of divorce and the widowed was significantly related to the incidence of diabetes. 15 More generally, it is common in the morbidity, mortality and obesity literature for researchers to combine divorced/separated and widowed status into one covariate.…”

This study evaluates the full impact of marital status on diabetes mellitus by stratifying the analysis by gender, including socioeconomic covariates and, unlike most studies, extending marital status by separating out previously conflated status categories. Methods: Release 5 of the National Longitudinal Mortality Study (NLMS) was used for the data. Logistic regression was applied to the data from 1990 to 2011. The effective sample size consists of 1,384,507 individuals age 18 and above recruited into the study (via the Current Population Surveys), 3,955 of whom had died of diabetes mellitus by 2011. Results: For minority men and non-Hispanic white men, divorced/separated status was significantly related to diabetes mortality, respectively (OR=1.318, CI=1.010, 1.719; and OR=1.283, CI=1.054, 1.562). For minority women and non-Hispanic white women, widowed status was related to diabetes mortality, respectively (OR=1. 349, CI=1.107, 1.643; and OR=1.262, CI=1.113, 1.431). Conclusion: Contrary to recent epidemiological studies in which divorced/separated and widowed status were combined into one covariate, this United States study finds that divorced/separated men and widowed women are at increased risk for diabetes mellitus mortality, and that among these populations at risk, minorities are at higher risk than whites. The study highlights the importance of marital status and gender differences in the risk of death from diabetes.

“…The current study found an association between social status and QoL in people with diabetes, with married individuals scoring higher than single, divorced, and widowed. According to a Brazilian study, people who stayed married despite gaining much more weight are significantly less likely to acquire diabetes than their divorced counterparts [ 20 ]. The quality of marriage was found to affect health-related QoL and disease adaptation in a survey conducted by the American Diabetes Association to assess the impact of marital status on glucose control in insulin-treated diabetics.…”

Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic illnesses worldwide, with its prevalence rising rapidly every year. This condition adversely affects vasculature, leading to several potentially devastating complications like cerebrovascular mishaps, myocardial infarction, retinal damage, and renal compromise. These sequelae could lead to serious disabilities and negatively impact quality of life (QoL). Objectives This study aims to assess the QoL of adult diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia and determine influencing socio-demographic factors. Methods This is a cross-sectional study targeting adult diabetic patients visiting the Imam Medical Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from October 2022 to June 2023. The study encompasses diabetic patients of both genders aged 18 or more but excludes those diagnosed recently, i.e., within less than one year. A validated Arabic questionnaire, available online, was used to assess the QoL of the diabetic patients enrolled in this study. The sample size was 244 adult diabetic patients recruited from the Imam Medical Center through their official social media sites. Results The cohort of 244 patients recruited in this study were mostly aged between 18 and 30 (44.7%), females (52.5%), and married (47.5%). Furthermore, 58.6% of the participants were found to hold a bachelor's degree, 48.8% were employed, and 36.1% earned less than 5000 Saudi riyals each month. Of the total patients, 36.5% were diagnosed with diabetes 1-5 years ago, while 30.5% were diagnosed 5-10 years ago. Type 1 diabetes afflicted 48.4% of participants, whereas 47.1% were affected by type 2 diabetes. It was also determined that type 2 diabetic patients have higher overall QoL scores than type 1 diabetic patients. QoL had a high mean score of 22.05±4.4. The psychological/spiritual domain has the greatest mean score of 24.06±5.4, while the social and economic domain has the lowest (20.58±4.6). The majority of participants (71.3%) did not have other chronic conditions, whereas hypertension (18%) is the prevalent comorbidity, followed by respiratory ailments (7.4%) and cardiovascular disease (3.3%). Furthermore, people with hypertension had a higher total QoL and four life domain scores than those with cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. Conclusion The relevance of the findings is that it could aid health practitioners in developing techniques to encourage patients to undertake self-care to improve physiological management of the condition and reduce complications.
