Psychological well-being over time among adults with diabetes: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between diabetes duration and well-being using data from 115,039 U.S. adults (2005–2017). Logistic regression shows a significant negative correlation, with each year of diabetes reducing well-being by 0.05%. This effect is stronger in men (3.7%) than women (1.9%), highlighting the need for psychological management in diabetes care.
