While these determinants are acknowledged individually, few studies have validated a parsimonious, integrated measurement model to effectively structure and assess their collective influence on glycaemic control within a rural primary care context. We aimed to address this critical gap.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We conducted a cross-sectional, observational study utilising a purposive sample of 1,011 patients with uncontrolled T2DM recruited from a rural diabetic healthcare setting. To empirically test the structural relationships among key risk factors, we employed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate a four-factor measurement model. This model integrated 14 observed indicators across the latent constructs of alcohol addiction, economic conditions, dietary habits, and family history of T2DM.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The proposed four-factor model demonstrated an excellent practical fit to the observed data, confirming its structural validity. All factor loadings were statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.001). The magnitude of practical misfit was medium (Cohen\u2019s w=0.37), validating the model\u2019s overall explanatory power. Factor intercorrelations revealed a significant positive correlation between alcohol addiction and economic condition (r=0.109,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.006), and a significant negative relationship between diet and family history of T2DM (r=-0.154,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.014).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interpretation and conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Our findings establish alcohol addiction, economic conditions, dietary habits, and family history as robust, interrelated determinants of glycaemic control in rural primary care. The validated structural model provides an evidence-based tool for risk stratification and personalised intervention.<\/jats:p>\n
