AI model links mental health to type 2 diabetes
A new study using an advanced "digital twin" artificial intelligence model has found that factors such as loneliness, insomnia and poor mental health substantially raise a person's future risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The research, led by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in collaboration with Cranfield University, the University of Portsmouth, and Intelligent Omics Ltd, and published in Frontiers in Digital Health, used lifestyle and health data from 19,774 UK adults in the UK Biobank, tracked for up to 17 years. Unlike traditional prediction tools, the new model focuses entirely on behavioral, lifestyle and psychosocial information rather than blood tests or wearable devices.
