Prevalence and distribution of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Mexican adult population: a probabilistic survey

Abstract

Prevalence and distribution of type 2 Diabetes mellitus in Mexican adult population. A probabilistic survey.

Management of diabetes and associated cardiovascular risk factors in seven countries: a comparison of data from national health examination surveys

“…Mexico stands out for its high prevalence of the disease, with 24% of males and 21% of females over the age of 35 years having diabetes. 23 England and Scotland appear to have the lowest prevalence rates. Prevalence is higher among males in Colombia, England, Mexico and the United States, and among women in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Thailand (Appendix B, available at: http:// www.healthmetricsandevaluation.org/ files/2010/diabetes_comparative_analy-sis/Webappendix_1.pdf ).…”

Automated Telephone Calls in the Follow-Up of Self-Care in Outpatients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Feasibility Study

“…Diabetes is a serious public health problem in Mexico, and the prevalence of diabetes has increased from 6.7% in 1993 to 14.42% in 2006 [1]. Approximately 95% of patients exhibit poor or very poor glycemic control due to inconsistent routine treatment [2].…”

The impact of diabetes on employment in Mexico

“…In Mexico type 2 diabetes is increasingly affecting people in their productive age, raising the possibility that a larger share of people with diabetes will have to cope with debilitating complications already relatively early in life (Barquera et al, 2013;Villalpando et al, 2010). Further, only a minority of Mexicans appears to successfully manage their diabetes condition, with as much as 70 percent of the people with diabetes having poor control over their disease (Villalpando et al, 2010). In addition, many Mexicans are working in the large informal economy 1 , possibly limiting their access to quality health care and hence to appropriate treatment options.…”
