Abstract

Luk A, Wild SH, Jones S, et al. Early-onset type 2 diabetes: the next major diabetes transition. Lancet 2025; 405: 2313–26—In this Series paper, in the final section of the panel, the reference number for the statement, “In Japan and South Korea, type 2 incidence exceeded type 1 diabetes across the full age range in males” was changed to 44. In the third paragraph of the Defining early-onset type 2 diabetes section, reference 35 for the statement, “Therefore, lower age cutoffs might be needed to adequately define early-onset type 2 diabetes in some populations at high risk” was removed. In the fifth paragraph of the Obesity as the key risk factor for early-onset type 2 diabetes section, the references for the statement, “The rate of weight gain and duration of exposure to excess weight also appear to be a similarly potent risk factor (figure 3B)” were changed to 35,53,78,79. In the next sentence, the reference was changed from 83 to 78. In the penultimate paragraph of the same section, the reference number for the statement, “…so it remains unclear whether these associations are stronger in young versus older women” was changed to 78. In the following paragraph, the reference numbers for the statement, “…which have led to lower BMI-based thresholds for diabetes risk in Asian populations” were changed to 84,86–89. John McCaffrey's degree was incorrect. These corrections have been made to the online version as of Oct 9, 2025.
