Summary:

Lifestyle and demographic changes have led to diabetes becoming increasingly prevalent in rich and poor countries alike. In this video, SEBASTIAN VOLLMER assesses the global economic burden of diabetes. Going beyond previous studies in its recognition of the differing costs relating to such chronic conditions in both high and low-income countries, the research concludes that the economic burden of diabetes amounts to almost 2% of global GDP. With further work providing insight into how costs are likely to develop in the coming decades, Vollmer's research helps policymakers to identify ways to reduce the economic burden of diabetes.
