Abstract

This study is to identify how the social support influences the impaired fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes as structural equation analysis reflects the health behavior and psychological path. It investigates participants who give consents to participate in the Korean Health Examine Cohort (KOEX), which collects surveys and biological samples at eight university hospitals nationwide. Of the 53,767 adults over 30 years of age enrolled in the 2nd to 7th KOEX study from 2004 to 2010 (1st to 7th), 18,618 participants with a history of chronic diseases related to type 2 diabetes, the main variable, were excluded. The number of participants were 34,316 with enough data on social support and diabetes, which are the main variables. The results show that social support affects health behaviors and lowers fasting blood sugar. Therefore, not only the management of risk factors of individuals, but also the practice of healthy behavior with the attention of social relations such as social support, etc., can prevent type 2 diabetes.
