Abstract
Objectives We used findings from the Global Burden of
Disease 2015 study to update our previous publication on
the burden of diabetes and chronic kidney disease due to
diabetes (CKD-DM) during 1990–2015.
Methods We extracted GBD 2015 estimates for prevalence,
mortality, and disability-adjusted life years
(DALYs) of diabetes (including burden of low vision due
to diabetes, neuropathy, and amputations and CKD-DM for
22 countries of the EMR from the GBD visualization tools.
Results In 2015, 135,230 (95% UI 123,034–148,184) individuals
died from diabetes and 16,470 (95% UI 13,977–18,961)
from CKD-DM, 216 and 179% increases, respectively, compared
to 1990. The total number of people with diabetes was
42.3 million (95% UI 38.6–46.4 million) in 2015. DALY rates
of diabetes in 2015 were significantly higher than the expected
rates based on Socio-demographic Index (SDI).
Conclusions Our study showed a large and increasing burden
of diabetes in the region. There is an urgency in dealing
with diabetes and its consequences, and these efforts should
be at the forefront of health prevention and promotion
