In this 10th edition of the IDF Diabetes Atlas , the prevalence of diabetes is estimated for the year and projected to the years and The diabetes estimates are for adults aged 20β79 years, and include both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes.
An estimated million adults aged 20β79 years worldwide By , million, and by , million adults aged 20β79 years are projected to be living with diabetes. Estimated total number of adults 20β79 years with diabetes in , and In total, data sources from countries were included in the analysis. The greatest percentage increase from to in comparative prevalence is estimated to occur in middle-income countries due to their ageing populations.
Number of adults 20β79 years with diabetes per World Bank income classification in and Diabetes estimates for show increasing prevalence of diabetes by age. Similar trends are predicted for Prevalence is lowest among adults aged 20β24 years 2. Among adults aged 75β79 years diabetes prevalence is estimated to be Number of people with diabetes in adults 20β79 years by age group in columns and estimated prevalence i across age groups in black line.
The estimated prevalence of diabetes in women aged 20β79 years is slightly lower than in men In , there are Figure 3. Prevalence i of diabetes among men and women 20β79 years , In , more people with diabetes live in urban The number of people with diabetes living in urban areas is expected to increase to By , the predicted prevalence of diabetes in urban areas is estimated to increase to Number of people with diabetes in adults 20β79 years living in urban and rural areas in and As explained in Chapter 2 , age is a major determinant of diabetes risk.
Thus, comparative prevalence estimates and projections have been used to allow comparisons at IDF regional and country levels. This estimate is expected to increase, with the MENA Region continuing to have the highest comparative prevalence in The AFR Region currently has the lowest comparative prevalence 5.
