The prevalence of diabetes in India more than doubled in the 16 years since 2005. The number of cases increased from 42.6 mn in 2005 to 85.4 mn in 2019 as per the latest available data. The disease incidence, which increases rapidly in individuals above 35 years, rose at a rate of around 3 million cases per year on average.
Findings of a National Level Survey conducted by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) on the state of diabetes in India revealed that the disease currently accounts for 12.8 million DALYs (Disability-Adjusted Life Years), 6.7 million YLDs (Years Lived with Disability) and 0.3 million deaths during 20052019.
Globally, on the other hand, the prevalence of diabetes increased from 273.4 cases in 2005 to 460 million cases in 2019. Small wonder then that India has the dubious distinction of becoming the global hub for diabetes cases with prevalence increasing from 15.6 percent to 18.6 percent cases in the same interval. Globally, diabetes accounts for 70.9 million DALYs (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) and 36.7 YLDs (Years Lived with Disability) in 2019.
Similar results were found in another prevalence survey conducted by a team of researchers from Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana, Bengaluru, Department of Biophysics, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, Neuroscience Research Lab at Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, College of Social Work at University of Kentucky, US, and Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, reported in December, 2020. The survey found that India has a high, medium and low diabetes risk score (IDRS) of 10.2 percent, 33.1 percent and 56.7 percent in young adults. The IDRS considers four key factors, including age, family history of diabetes, waist circumference and physical activity.
