In 2021, type 2 diabetes prevalence was estimated at 59.69 million cases, with a significant portion attributable to obesity.
Disability-adjusted life years showed an average annual percentage change of 2.08% from 1990 to 2021, highlighting growing health impacts.
High body mass index emerged as the leading risk factor for type 2 diabetes, accounting for over 54% of associated disability-adjusted life years.
