Overview

Comprehensive analysis of type 2 diabetes burden and risk factors in global populations, indicating future trajectories.

Key Points

  • In 2021, type 2 diabetes affected 506 million people and resulted in 1.6 million deaths globally.
  • Both absolute and relative burdens of type 2 diabetes increased significantly from 1990 to 2021, particularly among males and older adults.
  • The analysis used population attributable fraction and decomposition analysis to identify key drivers of diabetes burden changes.
  • Targeted interventions to address major risk factors could effectively reduce the increasing global burden of type 2 diabetes.
