<![CDATA[Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a public health problem with an increasing prevalence and a higher occurrence among women than men. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of T2DM among women aged ≥15 years in Indonesia based on data from the Survei Kesehatan Indonesia 2023. This research was a secondary data analysis using a cross-sectional design involving 638,177 women who met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test and calculation of Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that the prevalence of T2DM was 1.1%. Significant associated factors included age ≥40 years (POR=22.3), urban residence (POR=2.08), obesity (POR=1.69), overweight (POR=1.58), light physical activity (POR=1.34), and unemployment (POR=1.11). Protective factors included not having a partner (POR=0.57), vigorous physical activity (POR=0.59), and underweight BMI (POR=0.62), while educational level was not significantly associated (p=0.259). T2DM among women is a multifactorial disease influenced by biological, social, behavioral, and environmental factors, indicating the need for risk-based promotive and preventive interventions.]]>
