Development of type 2 diabetes mellitus is influenced by built environment, which is, 'the environments that are modified by humans, including homes, schools, workplaces, highways, urban sprawls, accessibility to amenities, leisure, and pollution.' Built environment contributes to diabetes through access to physical activity and through stress, by affecting the sleep cycle. With globalization, there is a possibility that western environmental models may be replicated in developing countries such as India, where the underlying genetic predisposition makes them particularly susceptible to diabetes. Here we review published information on the relationship between built environment and diabetes, so that appropriate modifications can be incorporated to reduce the risk of developing diabetes mellitus.
2型糖尿病的发生受建筑环境的影响，建筑环境是指“人类改造的环境，包括家庭、学校、工作场所、高速公路、城市扩张、便利设施的可达性、休闲环境和污染”。建筑环境通过影响身体活动的机会、压力以及睡眠周期，进而导致糖尿病。随着全球化的发展，西方环境模式有可能在印度等发展中国家被复制，而印度潜在的遗传易感性使他们尤其容易患糖尿病。在此，我们回顾已发表的关于建筑环境与糖尿病之间关系的信息，以便进行适当的调整，以降低患糖尿病的风险。
