Mortality attributable to diabetes in 20–79 years old adults, 2019 estimates: Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th edition

Abstract: Mortality Global Regional International Diabetes Federation A B S T R A C T Aims: To estimate the number of deaths attributable to diabetes in 20-79-year-old adults in 2019. Methods: The following were used to estimate the number of deaths attributable to diabetes: all-cause mortality estimates from the World Health Organization life table, country level age-and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence in 2019 and relative risks of death in people with diabetes compared to people without diabetes.

“…Diabetes is known to be an important cause of excess mortality although the magnitude of this effect is highly variable in different populations with a relative risk of 1.15-3.15 with cardiovascular diseases being consistently observed to be the main cause of this risk [8]. The data on mortality from the 9 th Edition of the IDF Atlas 2019 [9] demonstrate a wide regional variation, which are also likely to reflect differences in the demographics of those with diabetes, the level of public health investment in diabetes care which will be influenced in turn by socio-economic factors including the availability of medicines. Apart from the AFR Region (where the highest death rate is in the age group 30-39 years), all other Regions show a consistent pattern of higher number of deaths due to diabetes in those aged 60 years and older.…”

“…Diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent chronic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels and many devastating complications [ 1 , 2 ]. It is estimated to contribute to 11.3% of deaths globally in 2019 [ 3 , 4 ]. According to the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, the number of global diabetes cases may reach 578 million in 10 years.…”

“…Diabetes mellitus is a public health problem worldwide affecting near half a billion people life, and it has been estimated that the number of people suffering from diabetes will reach 700 million by 2045. 1,2 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a serious and one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders. T2DM is characterized by the inability to control blood glucose due to insulin resistance, inadequate insulin secretion, and excessive or inappropriate glucagon secretion.…”
