<![CDATA[Diabetes Mellitus (DM) cases in the Banda Raya Public Health Center work area experienced an extreme upward trend from 565 cases in 2023 to 1,075 cases in 2025. This study aims to determine the determinants of DM incidence in this work area in 2025. The research used a descriptive-analytic method with a case-control design and a quantitative approach through questionnaire distribution. The study involved 50 respondents, equally divided into a case group (25 DM patients) and a control group (25 healthy individuals) selected through total sampling technique. The Chi-Square test analysis using SPSS showed a highly significant correlation among several risk factors: sedentary behavior (p=0.001), sleep quality (p=0.001), dietary patterns (p=0.001), and physical activity (p=0.001) substantially influence the incidence of DM. Meanwhile, stress level showed a non-significant result (p=0.087) toward DM incidence. This study demonstrates that lifestyle factors and daily behaviors are the primary determinants in triggering the incidence of DM at a productive age. The Non-Communicable Diseases (PTM) unit of Public Health Center is expected to enhance targeted preventive education regarding healthy lifestyles, dietary management, routine physical activity, and sleep hygiene to suppress the growth rate of DM cases.]]>
