How common is diabetes?
Diabetes is a very common disease, affecting millions of people worldwide.
According to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2019, approximately 463 million adults aged 20-79 years were living with diabetes in the IDF North America and Caribbean region.
The prevalence of diabetes varies by region, with some areas having higher rates than others.
It is important to note that these numbers are constantly changing as new cases are diagnosed and the population grows.
Additionally, the incidence of diabetes, or the number of new cases diagnosed each year, is also an important factor to consider.
The incidence of diabetes has been increasing over time, likely due to factors such as increasing obesity rates, sedentary lifestyles, and aging populations.
Public health efforts are focused on preventing and managing diabetes to reduce its burden on individuals and healthcare systems.
