Abstract

Objective: Compare age, gender, clinical and paraclinical characteristics between two groups of family health history positive and negative for diabetes. Patients and methods: Cross-sectional study. We selected all patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who came for examination at the Endocrinology clinic of Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from April 2023 to August 2023. Results: The diabetes positive family health history group had an average age of disease onset of 47.6 years old, the diabetes negative family health history group had an average age of disease onset of 52.6 years old. The positive family health history group had age of diabetes onset 5 years lower than the diabetes negative family health history group, this difference was statistically significant with p < 0.05. Clinical and paraclinical characteristics were almost similar with no differences in both groups. Conclusion: There is a difference in the age of onset of type 2 diabetes in the two groups, the group with a negative family health history of diabetes has a higher age of onset of type 2 diabetes than the group with a positive family health history of diabetes
