Diabetes is the leading cause of severe health complications and one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. To date, diabetes has no cure, and therefore, it is necessary to take precautionary measures to avoid its occurrence. The main aim of this systematic review is to identify the majority of the risk factors for the incidence/prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus on one hand, and to give a critical analysis of the cohort/cross-sectional studies which examine the impact of the association of risk factors on diabetes. Consequently, we provide insights on risk factors whose interactions are major players in developing diabetes. We conclude with recommendations to allied health professionals, individuals and government institutions to support better diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.
糖尿病是严重健康并发症的主要原因，也是全球十大死因之一。迄今为止，糖尿病无法治愈，因此，有必要采取预防措施以避免其发生。本系统综述的主要目的，一方面是确定2型糖尿病发病率/患病率的大多数风险因素，另一方面是对检验风险因素关联对糖尿病影响的队列研究/横断面研究进行批判性分析。因此，我们深入探讨了其相互作用在糖尿病发生过程中起主要作用的风险因素。最后，我们向健康专业人员、个人和政府机构提出建议，以支持对该疾病进行更好的诊断和预后评估。
