MARKET WIRE - 14 Nov, 2011
|
| BRUSSELS, BELGIUM -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/11 -- World Diabetes Day 2011 marks the release of the International Diabetes
Federation's 5th edition of the Diabetes Atlas. New figures indicate that the number of people living with diabetes is expected
to rise from 366 million in 2011 to 552 million by 2030. In sub-Saharan Africa where infectious disease has traditionally
dominated health systems, rates of diabetes are soaring. The number of people living with diabetes in Africa has now risen
to 14.7 million. This is expected to increase to 28 million by 2030, around a 90% increase. Worryingly it is people in their
most productive years, under the age of 60, who are suffering the full force of the epidemic.
