AB - Type 2 diabetes has been associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 severity and mortality.The incidence of young onset (aged &lt;50 years) T2D (YOT2D) has increased in many countries over the past 30 years, particularly in ethnic minority groups.Accumulating evidence confirms that individuals with YOT2D have greater risks of developing micro- and macrovascular complication.The reasons for poorer outcomes in YOT2D are not known but associated risk factors include female sex, obesity, low birthweight, family history of T2D and non-white ethnicity.In view of the high-risk phenotype, YOT2D may have worse outcomes following COVID-19.
