Incidence of type 2 diabetes in Japan: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

<h4>Background</h4>The definition of incident type 2 diabetes varies across studies; hence, the actual incidence of type 2 diabetes in Japan is unclear. Here, we reviewed the various definitions of incident type 2 diabetes used in previous epidemiologic studies and estimated the diabetes...
