The University of Kentucky contributed to a new study showing people who experience interpersonal violence as a child or adult have a higher chance of developing adult diabetes. Dr. Anne Coker is the interim executive director at UK’s Center for Research on Violence Against Women.
“It's a 20 to 35% increase if a person has experienced both child abuse, as well as intimate partner violence, that person has a 35% increased risk of developing diabetes," Coker said.
