A study that expects to double the global obesity -related diabetes patients by 2050

A new global study warned against the high rate of diabetes in the world during the next thirty years, if the appropriate measures are not taken. The study, conducted by researchers at the Institute for Health Measurements and Evaluation at the University of Washington, found that 529 million people in world have diabetes. They expected this number to double to 1.3 billion by 2050. The researchers said that most cases have the second type of diabetes, which is the type associated with obesity and can be greatly prevented. The pattern of the increase in the injury rate is not one in the world. For example, the prevalence rate of the disease is expected to reach 16.8% in North Africa and the Middle East, and 11.3% in Latin America and the Caribbean region by 2050, compared to 9.8% worldwide. The researchers said that the incidence is currently 6.1%, but that all countries are vulnerable to raising infection rates. According to the high obesity, Lyan Ong, the most important researcher in the study, said. The study showed that the high rate of obesity and demographic transformations is among the reasons for raising the number of injured people, as the occurrence rate is higher among the elderly. The researchers said that the data received from 204 countries did not take into account the effect of the pandemic of the Corona virus because this data is not yet available. The study, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is part of a broader study series on diabetes published in Lancet Medical Magazine on Thursday. Studies are asking for more effective strategies to combat injury and awareness of inequality, as the majority of low and medium -income diabetics live in countries and cannot receive appropriate treatment.
