Study by American Medical Association Links COVID-19 Infection to 45% Increased Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Children, 2020 to 2022
Oct 15, 2024, 01:03 PM
A recent observational study published by the American Medical Association suggests that COVID-19 infection may be linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents. The study indicates a 45% increase in relative risk of type 2 diabetes within one month following a COVID diagnosis. Experts note that the metabolic stress caused by COVID-19 could exacerbate pre-existing vulnerabilities in susceptible youth. The findings have sparked debate within the medical community, with some questioning the rapid onset of diabetes post-infection and the mechanisms by which a respiratory virus could affect pancreatic function. The study, titled 'SARS-CoV-2 Infection and New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes Among Pediatric Patients, 2020 to 2022,' underscores the need for further research into the long-term health impacts of COVID-19 on young populations.
