This study yielded three key findings: first, compared to individuals with high SES, those with medium and low SES had a 30% and 75% increased risk of total microvascular complications; second, this positive association was also observed for individual microvascular complications; third, body mass index and other obesity‐related indicators, as well as glycated hemoglobin may be significant mediators of the association between SES and microvascular complications, with lifestyle factors having relatively smaller mediating proportions.
