Overview

Retrospective analysis indicates rising T2DM cases and mortality in adults 55+, highlighting urgent health needs.

Key Points

  • In 2021, there were over 9 million cases of T2DM among adults aged 55 and older, with significant increases since 1990.
  • The global incidence of T2DM rose from 409.06 to 617.73 per 100,000 population from 1990 to 2021, indicating a growing health crisis.
  • Retrospective analysis using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 database provides insights into long-term trends in T2DM.
  • These findings highlight the urgent need for strategies to address diabetes-related mortality and manage the overall healthcare burden.
