DI@BET.ES study
The Di@bet.es study was a nationwide, population-based cohort study in Spain that recruited 5,072 adults aged 18 years and older to investigate the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders. Participants were randomly selected between 2008 and 2010 from the Spanish National Health System registries using a cluster sampling design across 100 primary healthcare centres distributed throughout the country. The cohort was re-evaluated once between 2016 and 2017 to assess incident diabetes and associated risk factors.
