Diabetes in the world
The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus has been increasing, particularly in developing countries, with a perspective of 51% of increase in the diagnosis.
In 2045 there will be 700 million people with diabetes.
Today, one of 11 adult individuals live with Diabetes: 463 MILLION PEOPLE.
Three of four individuals with Diabetes live in developing countries and two of three individuals with diabetes live in urban centers.
10% of the global amount spent in healthcare is with Diabetes and its complications: US$760 BILLION.
Diabetes in Brazil
A total of almost 17 million people is estimated to have diabetes in Brazil, which means, one of nine people have diabetes (and 46% of them do not know about it). In 2019, about 135 thousand deaths were related to the disease.
Only in the Greater São Paulo 700 thousand people are estimated to have diabetes in the complementary health system. Direct and indirect costs with Diabetes and its complications increase exponentially over the years. Most diabetes-related costs are due to complications and associated with hospital admissions
