Abstract EN
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is currently a public health problem worldwide and a threat to human health and social development.
The incidence rate of the disease is steadily increasing.
Various genetic and environmental factors have been established as influencing the pathogenesis of this disease.
However, the influence of social factors and the natural environment on DM incidence should also be considered.
Low-grade inflammation could represent a central point of connection integrating all these potential triggers, being partly responsible for the development of insulin resistance.
This paper aims to elaborate on the impact of the natural environment and social factors on DM development, with a special focus on six aspects of the pathogenesis of DM: pollution, radiation, psychology, drink, sleep, and exercise.
We identified a two-way relationship between T2DM and social and natural environments.
Changes in these environments may lead to low-grade inflammation, which in turn induces or aggravates T2DM and vice versa.
Poor lifestyle may lead to increased insulin resistance and promote DM development.
Improvements in blood glucose control can be achieved through nonenvironmental and behavioral interventions.
