Age- and deprivation-related inequalities in identification of people at high risk of type 2 diabetes in England.

There is under identification of NDH relative to diagnosis of T2DM amongst people living in more deprived areas and particularly amongst younger people, resulting in missed opportunities for targeted T2DM prevention efforts and potentially contributing to inequalities in T2DM prevalence and severity. More active NDH case-finding amongst these groups may be an important first step in helping to reduce inequalities in T2DM.
