La diabetes mellitus en España: mortalidad, prevalencia, incidencia, costes económicos y desigualdades

Abstract: The knowledge about the situation of the DM as a Public Health problem in Spain is limited. Mortality data available does not gather its real magnitude, and prevalence, incidence, costs and inequalities research are very poor and hardly comparable. In spite of this degree of incertitude, we can state that DM is an important public health problem with a continuous increase, especially DM2, if the appropriate prevention and control measures are not taken.

“…Diabetes trends in Europe are alarming, given the notable increase in prevalence in most countries (Passa 2002).
