Supplementary Material for: Characterization of the Distribution of Body Mass Index in People with Type 2 Diabetes in the Portuguese Population

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global health concern, closely linked to the obesity epidemic. In Portugal, the high prevalence of T2D, alongside important rates of overweight and obesity, highlights the need for targeted interventions. This multicentre, cross-sectional observational study aimed to characterize the Portuguese T2D population based on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, while examining associated sociodemographic, clinical, and therapeutic factors.
