Overview

Epidemiological review reveals rising diabetes prevalence linked to obesity and lifestyle changes across diverse populations, highlighting shared antecedents between diabetes and vascular disease.

Key Points

  • Review the epidemiological patterns, risk factors, and public health ramifications of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus across global populations.
  • Synthesized international epidemiological evidence assessing the prevalence and incidence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
  • Evaluated the impact of genetic factors, aging, obesity, body fat distribution, habitual diet, and physical activity on disease risk and associated vascular complications.
  • Identified advancing age, degree of obesity, and abdominal fat distribution as the strongest epidemiological predictors of disease onset.
  • Demonstrated that elevated coronary heart disease risk precedes the clinical onset of hyperglycemia, indicating shared antecedents between diabetes and atherosclerosis.
  • Observed that microvascular eye and renal complications present major morbidity burdens, posing severe public health challenges in developing and resource-limited regions.
