Sub-national disparities in disease burden of diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease in France: a pre-pandemic analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are major global public health issues and the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are one of the most commonly used health gap summary measures in public health and have become an important metric for quantifying burden of disease. The primary objective of this study was to quantify the sub-national burden of diabetes mellitus and CKD in France in 2017 using age-standardized DALY rates (ASDRs), and secondary objective was to assess the relationship between these ASDRs and the French Deprivation Index (FDep), as a measure of socioeconomic disparities.

Methods

We used national French health databases to estimate the burden of diabetes mellitus and chronic kidne
