 A haredi (ultra-Orthodox) young person is 1.5 times more likely to develop Type II diabetes than a non-haredi young person, according to the Health Ministry.

The ministry originally reported that haredim aged 25-34 were 15 times more likely than the rest of the Jewish population to develop the disease, but then retracted and revised the report.
According to the full report, which was released on Tuesday evening, in most age groups, the likelihood of developing diabetes is higher among ultra-Orthodox.
