Neighborhood deprivation in relation to lung cancer in individuals with type 2 diabetes-A nationwide cohort study (2005-2018).

In this large cohort of individuals with type 2 diabetes, we found higher lung cancer incidence and mortality in patients living in areas with high neighborhood deprivation, even after adjusting for individual-level characteristics. These findings may help develop a more contextual approach that includes the neighborhood environment when allocating resources for disease prevention and care in patients with type 2 diabetes. These findings could also help inform clinical care for patients with type 2 diabetes, particularly those living in deprived neighborhoods.
