Sarah H. Wild, +4 more

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the "diabetes epidemic" will continue even if levels of obesity remain constant, and given the increasing prevalence of obesity, it is likely that these figures provide an underestimate of future diabetes prevalence.

TL;DR: Glycaemia and diabetes are rising globally, driven both by population growth and ageing and by increasing age-specific prevalences, and effective preventive interventions are needed, and health systems should prepare to detect and manage diabetes and its sequelae.
Frequently Asked Questions (7)
Q1. What have the authors contributed in "Large increase in the prevalence of self-reported diabetes based on a nationally representative survey in hungary" ?

In this paper, the authors investigated the change in the prevalence of the diabetes in the Hungarian adult population over the last decade and compared their findings to those of neighbouring countries. 

screening programs for diabetes and other comorbidities (such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, cardiovascular disease) could have also increased the proportion of self-reported diabetes through increased awareness. 

The prevalence of self-reported type 2 diabetes mellitus was 11.7% (95% CI [confidence interval] 10.0-13.8%) of the Hungarian, community-dwelling, adult population. 

Based on the latest data, Diabetes Atlas estimated that the number of people with diabetes would grow from 366 million people to 552 million between 2011 and 2030, representing an increase of 50.7%. 

Based on random digit dialling, a stratified representative sample of the Hungarian adult (>18 years old), community dwelling population with access to a landline phone (penetration rate: 62.5% of households) was collected.[15] 

A Croatian survey reported a diabetes prevalence of 6.1% for 18-64 year old people (1995-1997), however this study excluded people with the highest diabetes prevalence (around age 70 in their study).[5] 

Through similar mechanisms changes in educational level and deprivation could be associated with diabetes awareness, however secondary level education remained stable, while unemployment increase in the observation period, suggesting that these factors are not major drivers of the observed increase.
