“…This finding could be related to many influences such as genetic and ethnic factors, inactive lifestyles and incorrect dietary habits. Age-specific prevalence rates of diabetes in some neighbouring countries and also previous studies in the Islamic Republic of Iran are compared in Table 5 (8,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). As the table shows, the prevalence of diabetes in Yazd is greater than the average national level in Islamic Republic of Iran and those of the nearby countries.…”

“…31 In contrast, another study in China found that the prevalence of diabetes was generally unaffected by educational level but was higher in the high-income group. 32 Moreover, studies from both developing and developed countries have found inverse associations between diabetes and educational level and household socioeconomic status, perhaps because the better-educated were more health-conscious. 19,[33][34][35] However, obesity appears to be an independent risk factor for diabetes and a study from Brazil showed that better-educated and wealthier individuals were more likely to be obese.…”

“…This may suggest that PD-MSC play an immunoregulatory role. It has been reported that among T2D patients, some of them may have latent autoimmune diabetes in adult (LADA) [2,6,26,40], whose anti-islet cell antibodies and anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies are positive due to a possible immune response. However, so far, there is no uniform standard for diagnosing the LADA, so we do not exclude these three cases.The mechanism of β-cell function's improvement after transplantation of PD-MSC remains unclear at present.…”

“…More than 92 million Chinese men and women have diabetes and 148 million have prediabetes, in which type 2 diabetes (T2D) accounts for more than 90% [1]. Diabetes can result in multi-system chronic complications, particularly micro-and macrovascular complications, with high morbidity and mortality [2][3][4]. The islet transplantation is an efficient therapy for T2D, especially for those who had a long duration, serious islet cell dysfunction, or poor blood glucose control even with large dose of insulin application.…”
