Trends in type 2 diabetes mellitus disease burden in European Union countries between 1990 and 2019.

ABSTRACT: This observational study aimed to assess trends in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) disease burden in European Union countries for the years 1990-2019. Sex specific T2DM age-standardised prevalence (ASPRs), mortality (ASMRs) and disability-adjusted life-year rates (DALYs) per 100,000 population were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study online results tool for each EU country (inclusive of the United Kingdom), for the years 1990-2019. Trends were analysed using Joinpoint regression analysis. Between 1990 and 2019, increases in T2DM ASPRs were observed for all EU countries. The highest relative increases in ASPRs were observed in Luxembourg (males + 269.1%, females + 219.2%), Ireland (males + 191.9%, females + 165.7%) and the UK (males + 128.6%, females + 114.6%). Mortality trends were less uniform across EU countries, however a general trend towards reducing T2DM mortality was observed, with ASMRs decreasing over the 30-year period studied in 16/28 countries for males and in 24/28 countries for females. The UK observed the highest relative decrease in ASMRs for males (- 46.9%). For females, the largest relative decrease in ASMRs was in Cyprus (- 67.6%). DALYs increased in 25/28 countries for males and in 17/28 countries for females between 1990 and 2019. DALYs were higher in males than females in all EU countries in 2019. T2DM prevalence rates have increased across EU countries over the last 30 years. Mortality from T2DM has generally decreased in EU countries, however trends were more variable than those observed for prevalence. Primary prevention strategies should continue to be a focus for preventing T2DM in at risk groups in EU countries.

Project description:BackgroundUnderstanding the epidemiological characteristics of various cancers can optimize the prevention and control strategies in the national cancer control plan. This study aimed to report the burden differences, pattern trend, and potential risk factors of all neoplasm types in China in recent 30 years, and further compared with top economies in the world.MethodsThe disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) of all neoplasms with the attributable risk factors from 1990 to 2019 in China, Japan, European Union, USA, and the world were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. The temporal trend analysis was estimated using the joinpoint regression model.ResultsIn 2019, about 251.4 million DALYs worldwide were caused by all neoplasms, and nearly 26.9% (67.5 million DALYs) occurred in China with the ASDR in 2019 of 342.09/10 000, which was higher than European Union (334.25/10 000), USA (322.94/10 000), and Japan (250.36/10 000). Although the cancer burden of the colorectum, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, oral cavity, ovary, and kidney in China was lower than in Japan, European Union and USA, the corresponding ASDR gradually increased in China over the past 30 years, but declined in the three developed areas. Around 46.29% of overall neoplasms DALYs in China in 2019 were attributed to 22 identified risk factors, and the specific risk attributable-fraction for several neoplasm types varied greatly in these regions.ConclusionThe ASDR of cancers of the lung, colorectum, pancreas, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, oral cavity, ovary, kidney, and chronic lymphoid leukemia increased in China compared to 30 years ago. With the population aging and the social transformation in China, the increasing burden of neoplasms and the changing spectrum of neoplasms suggest that effective comprehensive prevention and treatment measures should be adopted to reduce the burden, including public health education, strict tobacco-control policy, healthier lifestyles, along with expanding vaccination programs and early cancer screening.

Project description:IntroductionWith population aging rampant globally, Europe faces unique challenges and achievements in chronic disease prevention. Despite this, comprehensive studies examining the diabetes burden remain absent. We investigated the burden of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, alongside high fasting plasma glucose (HFPG), in Europe from 1990-2019, to provide evidence for global diabetes strategies.MethodsDisease burden estimates due to type 1 and type 2 diabetes and HFPG were extracted from the GBD 2019 across Eastern, Central, and Western Europe. We analyzed trends from 1990 to 2019 by Joinpoint regression, examined correlations between diabetes burden and Socio-demographic indices (SDI), healthcare access quality (HAQ), and prevalence using linear regression models. The Population Attributable Fraction (PAF) was used to described diabetes risks.ResultsIn Europe, diabetes accounted for 596 age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) per 100,000 people in 2019, lower than globally. The disease burden from type 1 and type 2 diabetes was markedly higher in males and escalated with increasing age. Most DALYs were due to type 2 diabetes, showing regional inconsistency, highest in Central Europe. From 1990-2019, age-standardized DALYs attributable to type 2 diabetes rose faster in Eastern and Central Europe, slower in Western Europe. HFPG led to 2794 crude DALYs per 100,000 people in 2019. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes burdens correlated positively with diabetes prevalence and negatively with SDI and HAQ. High BMI (PAF 60.1%) and dietary risks (PAF 34.6%) were significant risk factors.ConclusionEurope's diabetes burden was lower than the global average, but substantial from type 2 diabetes, reflecting regional heterogeneity. Altered DALYs composition suggested increased YLDs. Addressing the heavy burden of high fasting plasma glucose and the increasing burden of both types diabetes necessitate region-specific interventions to reduce type 2 diabetes risk, improve healthcare systems, and offer cost-effective care.
