Estimating the prevalence, hospitalisation and mortality from type 2 diabetes mellitus in Nigeria: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: BackgroundThere is not yet a comprehensive evidence-based epidemiological report on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Nigeria. We aimed to estimate country-wide and zonal prevalence, hospitalisation and mortality rates of T2DM in Nigeria.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Global Health, Africa Journals Online (AJOL) and Google Scholar for population and hospital-based studies on T2DM in Nigeria. We conducted a random-effects meta-analysis on extracted crude estimates, and applied a meta-regression epidemiolo… Show more

“…For tobacco smoking, an estimated 5.6% Nigerian adults aged over 15 years smoked tobacco products in 2017 [62]. Similar to alcohol use initiatives, strategic policies to support Nigerians to quit smoking [62], as well as efforts to prevent diabetes, are weak [63, 64]. Our finding implies that efforts must not only be made to strengthen the health system and its human resources for TB control but also calls for collaborative, targeted and measurable socioeconomic reforms that address issues of alcohol use, tobacco, smoking and vulnerabilities, galvanised with strong political support to reduce TB burden in Nigeria.…”

“…Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and can lead to serious complications such as nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease [1,2]. T2DM remains one of the most common health issues and accounts for 90% of the cases of diabetes, with a mortality incidence of 4.9 million people worldwide [3]. One of the therapeutic approaches of controlling postprandial hyperglycemia in T2DM is inhibiting the digestion of dietary carbohydrates.…”
