Abstract

This study aimed to systematically review longitudinal studies examining associations between the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and built environmental factors. This review adhered to the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. Longitudinal studies examining associations between T2DM incidence and built environmental features were eligible. Built environment constructs corresponded to the following themes: 1) Walkability – factors such as sidewalks/footpaths, crosswalks, parks, and density of businesses and services; (2) Green/open space – size, greenness, and type of available public outdoor spaces; (3) Food environment – ratio of healthful food outlets (e.g., greengrocers, butchers, supermarkets, and health food shops) to unhealthful food outlets (e.g., fast-food outlets, sweet food retailers, and convenience stores). Five databases (e.g., Medline) were searched from inception until July 2023. Qualitative and quantitative synthesis were used to summarise key findings, including a meta-analysis of adjusted Hazard Ratios (aHR).
