Title: The influence of eating habits on Type 2 Diabetes in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Several dietary factors are associated with an increased risk of diabetes in Saudi Arabia. The increasing consumption of processed and sugary foods, including fast food and sugary beverages, in recent decades with the rising prevalence of diabetes indicates the necessity of exploring the influence of eating habits on diabetes in Saudi Arabia. That is why the association between eating habits and diabetes in Saudi Arabia has become a topic of increasing interest. Therefore, this systematic literature review aimed to explore the influence of eating habits on the prevalence of diabetes in Saudi Arabia, by providing a comprehensive synthesis of existing evidence from studies conducted on this topic in Saudi Arabia. Using predefined search terms, a systematic search was conducted in electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Medline, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Studies that investigate the relationship between eating habits and diabetes prevalence among the Saudi Arabian population were included. Data extraction was performed, and the quality of included studies was assessed using appropriate tools. The findings were synthesized and discussed. Understanding the association between eating habits and diabetes in Saudi Arabia is crucial for developing effective preventive and management strategies for diabetes and other non-communicable diseases and promoting healthier eating habits in Saudi Arabia.
