Recognizing and Addressing Health Inequities in Endocrinology and Diabetes

In 2020, the American Diabetes Association published a scientific review on Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and Diabetes,1 identifying that despite improved treatments, disparities in diabetes care and outcomes persist in minoritized populations. A shift to addressing population health by addressing SDOH has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This theme issue of Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America is focused on health equity in endocrinology. In addition to diabetes and obesity, a wider lens to equity in bone disease, reproductive endocrinology, transgender care, endocrine surgery access, and pituitary disease is applied.
