The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global burden of type 2 diabetes: a study based on GBD 2021 data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to comprehensively assess the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the global burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using data from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2021.

Methods

Age-standardized T2DM prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were analyzed from Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2021. Pre-pandemic (2010-2019) and post-pandemic (2020-2021) periods were defined to capture pandemic onset, with 2020-2021 as the earliest available global post-pandemic data. Expected annual percentage changes (EAPC) were derived to assess the magnitude and direction of trends over the study period, adjusting for age, sex, and sociodemographic index. Post-pandemic projections to 2030 employe
