This is a narrative synthesis of 15 published articles on epidemiological and lifestyle risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus conducted via systematic database search using PRISMA methods. The review identifies a list of associated factors but does not quantify effect sizes, perform meta-analysis, or establish causal relationships; it serves as a summary of the literature landscape rather than a definitive evidence synthesis.
Narrative literature review (PRISMA method). Published literature on factors associated with type 2 diabetes incidence; no direct study population..
15 articles met inclusion criteria from searches in Google Scholar, ProQuest, and PubMed (2022–2026) Factors identified as influencing type 2 diabetes incidence include: age, gender, occupation, socioeconomic status, family history, BMI, obesity, diet, physical activity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cholesterol, blood glucose, metabolic factors, sleep duration, smoking, alcohol consumption, knowledge, and psychological factors/depression

This review provides a broad catalogue of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes but does not quantify their individual or combined effects or provide evidence-graded recommendations for clinical practice.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by the pancreas’s inability to produce sufficient insulin or the body’s inability to use the insulin produced effectively (insulin resistance). The onset of diabetes mellitus is caused by several factors, including age, physical activity, genetic factors, metabolic factors, obesity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and psychological factors. The purpose of this literature review is to identify factors associated with the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This literature review was conducted by searching published results in the Google Scholar, ProQuest, and PubMed databases from 2022 to 2026 using the PRISMA method. The search terms used were “factors AND incidence AND Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.” The search identified 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria. In conclusion, factors influencing the incidence of type 2 diabetes include age, gender, occupation and socioeconomic status, family history of diabetes, Body Mass Index (BMI) and obesity, dietary patterns, physical activity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and cholesterol levels, blood glucose and metabolic factors, sleep duration, smoking, alcohol consumption, knowledge, and psychological factors/depression.
