It is the fourth leading cause of death in most developed countries, and globally claims more lives per year than HIV/AIDS. In 2006, a UN Resolution recognized diabetes as a chronic disease of pandemic magnitude.The first edition of this book gained recognition as the definitive textbook of diabetes epidemiology. The second edition builds on this success, gathering recent information on international trends and data for diabetes mellitus. In particular, the book highlights the dramatic rise of Type 2 diabetes in children, adolescents and the elderly throughout the world.One new section features prevention and screening of both Type1 and Type 2 diabetes. Other new chapters cover the epidemiology of obesity and the impact of nutrition, and review available guidelines for better worldwide glycemic control. Future challenges, including the effects of antipsychotic treatment and HIV infection and therapy on diabetes, are also addressed.All chapters have been completely revised and updated, covering* definitions, classification and risk factors for diabetes* new evidence for screening and prevention of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes* epidemiology of complications and associated risk factors* economic aspects: the direct and indirect costs of diabetes.The Epidemiology of Diabetes Mellitus fills the need for a current compendium of diabetes epidemiology in the tradition of the first monumental text of the late Kelly West. It is essential reading for general practitioners, diabetologists, clinical endocrinologists, cardiologists, epidemiologists, nurses, dieticians, and other diabetes care providers, as well as health care decision makers. Zusammenfassung The Epidemiology of Diabetes Mellitus provides a unique, overall assessment of diabetes prevalence with detailed discussion of the impact of the disease in all geographic regions, including Africa, South-East Asia, India, China, and the Caribbean and Pacific Islands.
