2型糖尿病是世界范围内的一个主要健康问题，移民是许多国家糖尿病发病率增加的主要原因。挪威也不能幸免于这一过程，该国的移民在抵达后糖尿病患病率正在上升。然而，这些转变与在挪威新环境中居住的持续时间有关的动态并不清楚。在此背景下，对居住在奥斯陆地区的302名索马里妇女进行了横断面定量研究。结果显示，41%的研究参与者将在未来10年内面临患糖尿病的风险，这与85%的研究参与者腹部肥胖的情况不谋而合。研究发现，在挪威居住的年数与患糖尿病的风险显著相关，在挪威居住10年的人患糖尿病的风险是居住在挪威的人的两倍。
Type 2 diabetes represents a major health problem worldwide, with immigrants strongly contributing to the increase in diabetes in many countries. Norway is not immune to the process, and immigrants in the country are experiencing an increase in the prevalence of diabetes after arrival. However, the dynamics of these transitions in relation to the duration of residence in the new environment in Norway are not clearly understood. From this background, a cross-sectional quantitative study using a respondent-driven sampling method was conducted among 302 Somali women living in Oslo area. The results show that 41% of the study participants will be at risk for developing diabetes in the coming 10 years, which coincides with 85% of the study participants being abdominally obese. Significant associations were found between years of stay in Norway and the risk for diabetes with those who lived in Norway >10 years, having twofold higher odds of being at risk for developing diabetes compared to those who lived in Norway
