Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the long-term trends, regional disparities, and determinants of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among women aged 55 and older globally. They found that South Asia had the highest burden of T2DM, with significant increases in incidence and mortality rates observed in Eastern Europe. The study highlights the need for targeted prevention and improved healthcare quality to address the growing diabetes-related disability in this demographic.
