More than 800 million people around the world have diabetes, study finds
Briefly

Scientists at NCD-RisC, in collaboration with the World Health Organization, conducted the first global analysis of diabetes, revealing alarming increases in rates and health inequalities.
The study highlighted that more than half of global diabetes cases were concentrated in just four countries, emphasizing the need for targeted health interventions and support.
As the aging global population grows and obesity rates rise, the risk of developing diabetes increases, necessitating urgent public health strategies to address this crisis.
In contrast to the alarming rates in some nations, several countries maintain significantly lower diabetes prevalence, indicating variability that can inform health policies and resource allocation.
