Estimates of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Burden Attributable to Particulate Matter Pollution and Its 30-Year Change Patterns: A Systematic Analysis of Data From the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Abstract

BackgroundEpidemiological trends of type 2 diabetes mellitus attributable to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution remain unclear. Here, we estimated spatiotemporal trends of type 2 diabetes mellitus burden attributable to PM2.5 pollution, including ambient particulate matter pollution (APMP) and household air pollution (HAP), from 1990–2019.MethodsData were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 and were analyzed by age, sex, year, and location. Joinpoint regression analysis was applied in the analysis of temporal trends in type 2 diabetes mellitus burden over the 30 years.ResultsGlobally, PM2.5 pollution contributed to 292.5 thousand deaths and 13 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in 2019. APMP ranked third among all risk factors, causing an increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus burden from 1990, whereas the impact of HAP significantly fell during the same period. Both APMP and HAP contributed the most to deaths and DALYs of type 2 diabetes mellitus among older people. However, the age-standardized death and DALY rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus attributable to APMP were greater among males and people in the middle socio-demographic index countries, especially in Southern Sub-Saharan Africa. For HAP, type 2 diabetes mellitus burden was modestly higher in females and was highest in Oceania, which was the only region with an increase from 1990.ConclusionsPM2.5 pollution resulted in substantial and increasing type 2 diabetes mellitus burden worldwide. Hence, governments and health systems should take steps to reduce air pollution to mitigate this increasing burden.

Trends in Prevalence Cases and Disability-Adjusted Life-Years of Parkinson’s Disease: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

“…Once H0 was rejected, significance between 1 segment point and n segment points should be assessed. According to a reference to the APC (annual percentage change) [15], time series were built and taken as independent variables, while the ASPRs and the ASDRs were taken as dependent variables. The R software (R core team, version 4.0.2, Vienna, Austria) was used in visualization for indicators and conducted for linear correlations and coefficients of the SDI to the ASPR and the ASDR.…”

Long-Term Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…In 2019, 19.9% of diabetes-related deaths and 19.6% of the diabetes-related disability-adjusted life-years (DALY) were attributed to particulate air pollution [ 4 ]. Several systematic reviews have concluded that ambient air pollution is associated with diabetes mellitus [ 5 , 6 ], diabetes type 1 [ 7 ] or gestational diabetes mellitus [ 8 ].…”

“…Approximately 460 million people or 6% of world population were affected by DM ( Khan et al, 2020 ). Furthermore, DM was a top ten globally leading causes of death in 2019, and predicted to reach more than 500 million death in the next twenty-five years ( Wu et al, 2021 ). DM can be managed by lifestyle/behavioral change and/or pharmacotherapeutic interventions.…”
