Examining gender, BMI, and lifestyle factors as indicators of type 2 diabetes risk in the Ukrainian population.
Article in Endocrine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeDespite significant advances in diabetes understanding and management, it remains a major global public health challenge. This study examines the influence of gender, body mass index (BMI), and lifestyle factors on developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the Ukrainian population. By exploring these key risk factors, the study aims to enhance understanding of T2D determinants and contribute to targeted prevention strategies in Ukraine.
methodsThis current analysis uses cross-sectional secondary data from 12,092 individuals who visited medical mobile teams (MMTs) in four Ukrainian regions (Lviv, Rivne, Dnipro, and Poltava) between April 6 and August 8, 2023. Multiple logistic regression was employed to explore various risk factors associated with T2D.
resultsThe results suggest that overweight individuals were 3.02 times more likely to have T2D (Wald (1) = 233.10, p < 0.001, 95% CI: 2.62-3.48), while each unit increase in BMI raised the likelihood by 1.05-fold (Wald (1) = 56.26, p < 0.001). An unhealthy diet increased the risk by 1.29 times (Wald (1) = 13.99, p < 0.001). Women had 1.16 times higher T2D prevalence than men (Wald (1) = 3.93, p <0.05). Sedentary individuals were 16.1% less likely to have T2D (Wald (1) = 8.69, p < 0.01).
conclusionThis study is significant in that self-perceived overweight status was found to be the most important risk factor associated with T2D prevalence. This provides important guidance for organisations seeking to support T2D diagnosis and management efforts in Ukraine and emphasises the need to recognise self-perceived overweight status as an important consideration.
