People with diabetes are more likely to develop cataracts younger and faster than people without diabetes.

Is it true that people with diabetes are more likely to develop cataracts younger and faster than people without diabetes?

Yes. People with diabetes experience an increased risk of developing cataracts earlier and at an accelerated rate due to metabolic complications such as chronic hyperglycemia and elevated polyol pathway activity.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

Paper 0 provides a thorough review confirming that diabetes is strongly associated with early and frequent cataract formation due to metabolic mechanisms like aldose reductase activity. Paper 3 provides direct animal model evidence showing that chronic hyperglycemia accelerates cataract development. The remaining papers discuss other topics like diabetic retinopathy, neuropeptides, or diet, leaving the supporting evidence uncontested by the retrieved set.

A Review on Association Between Diabetes Mellitus and Cataract Formation
2022
The review highlights that the prevalence of cataracts increases with diabetes, and that both human and animal studies support the role of increased aldose reductase and polyol pathways in diabetic cataractogenesis.
