Trends in the prevalence and incidence of diabetes in the UK: 1996-2005

Abstract: The prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes have increased in the UK over the past decade. This might be primarily explained by the changes in obesity prevalence. Also, there was a change in drug treatment pattern from sulphonylureas to metformin.

“…There have been several national reports on diabetes prevalence and incidence, with different findings. Some describe an increased prevalence of diabetes [8,[12][13][14][15][16][17]; the majority report a stable incidence [12,13,15,16,18], some an increasing incidence [19,20] and one a decreasing incidence [8]. Explanations for these discrepant findings could be related to the decade in which the studies were performed, the definitions applied, the type of register used and the ethnic composition of the population.…”

A metformin előretörése és a szulfonilureák viszonylagos háttérbe szorulása számos országban (Amerikai Egyesült Államok, Egyesült Király-ság, Dánia, Németország, Svédország, Görögország) megfigyelhető volt [19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing rapidly in the UK (Gonzalez et al 2009) and throughout the world (Danaei et al 2011). T2D is associated with substantial human costs in terms of reduced quality of life and life expectancy, and management of the symptoms and secondary complications of T2D accounts for a considerable proportion of total public health care expenditure (American Diabetes Association 2008).…”
