Diabetes in India and Southeast Asia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Diabetes Mellitus in Developing Countries and Underserved Communities

Abstract

Diabetes is a multisystem disorder associated with complications, and the prevalence of which is increasing globally. Diabetes imposes immense public health burden with unacceptably high burdens on individuals, their families, and national economies. As the urban–rural divide narrows consistently, it adversely affects the lifestyle of populations. The rapid emerging economies of Southeast Asia (SEA) are a victim to the epidemiological transition which results in the shifting of the disease burden from the communicable to the non-communicable diseases. Moreover, Asians have a strong ethnic and genetic predisposition for diabetes and have lower thresholds for the environmental risk factors. There are 387 million people with diabetes in the world with 78.3 million people in the SEA region which is expected to rise to 131 million by the year 2040.
