Global epidemiology of type 1 diabetes in young adults and adults: a systematic review

Abstract: BackgroundAlthough type 1 diabetes (T1D) can affect patients of all ages, most epidemiological studies of T1D focus on disease forms with clinical diagnosis during childhood and adolescence. Clinically, adult T1D is difficult to discriminate from certain forms of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and from Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA).We searched the information available worldwide on the incidence of T1D among individuals over 15 years of age, and which diagnostic criteria should be used use to qualify T1D … Show more

“…The diagnosis of T1D was precise and clinically verified, which facilitated the inclusion of patients diagnosed after 30 years of age. Almost 1 in 3 patients in our T1D population was diagnosed after 30 years of age, which is in accordance with the distribution found in other studies 12,52 ; information on this group of patients is particularly scarce in the literature.…”

“…Fifth, we could not differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The risk of severe hypoglycaemia and hypoglycaemia-related mortality is different between the two phenotypes and their prevalence varies across countries [47]. While in type 1 diabetes severe hypoglycaemia is more likely to be the underlying cause of death, in type 2 diabetes a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease could contribute to an increased risk of fatal hypoglycaemia.…”

“…Incidence of type 1 diabetes increases continuously worldwide [1][2][3] of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and one of the major predictors of premature death [4,5] the association between rapid GFR decline and renal hyperfiltration is not well described in Type 1 diabetes. We hypothesized that renal hyperfiltration (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR \u2265 120 mL/min/1.73 m(2).…”
