PY - 2017 T2 - Interventional Cardiology, 2e AB - Diabetes mellitus affects a significant portion of the population; 1 in 10 adults in the United States has diabetes, with 90% to 95% of patients having type 2 diabetes.1 In 2012, nearly 20.1 million Americans ≥20 years of age were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, 8.1 million Americans had undiagnosed diabetes mellitus, and an estimated 80.8 million (35.3%) had prediabetes (ie, fasting blood glucose of 100 to <126 mg/dL).1 The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing and is attributed to the increased frequency of obesity, suboptimal nutritional habits, and aging of the population (Fig. 40-1).2 The total prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the United States is expected to more than double from 2005 to 2050 (from 5.6% to 12.0%) in all age, sex, and race/ethnicity groups, with minorities disproportionately affected.1 This increase, however, is not limited to the United States. The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus for all age groups is also increasing. In 2010, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide was estimated to be 6.4% and is projected to increase to 7.7% in 2030; the total number of people with diabetes mellitus is projected to increase from 285 million in 2010 to 439 million in 2030.1,3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accesscardiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1146599912 ER -
