title: Trends in type 2 diabetes prevalence according to income levels in Korea (1998-2012).
abstract: There was no significant association between diabetes prevalence and income levels for either sex in 1998. However, the high income level in men and the low income level in women positively related to the odds of diabetes in 2011-2012. Preventive strategies for diabetes should consider the gender-specific economic discrepancy.
