1.3billion people are forecast to be living with diabetes by 2050. Experts says diabetes cases are set to “grow aggressively” in every country and among every age group.
By 2050 more than one in eight of the global population – 1.3bn – will have diabetes, a study predicts. This is more than double the 529 million cases in 2021, reports The Mirror.
Dr Shivani Agarwal, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, said: “Diabetes remains one of the biggest public health threats of our time and is set to grow aggressively over the coming three decades in every country, age group and sex, posing a serious challenge to healthcare systems.”
