Prevalence (per 1,000 inhabitants) of<unk>  worldwide in 2000 - world average was 2.8%. Disability-adjusted life year for<unk>  mellitus per 100,000 inhabitants in 2004 Globally, an estimated 463 million adults are living with<unk> , according to the latest 2019 data from the International<unk>  Federation.<unk>  prevalence is increasing rapidly; previous 2017 estimates put the number at 425 million people living with<unk> . The number is projected to almost double by 2030. Type 2<unk>  makes up about 85-90% of all cases. Increases in the overall<unk>  prevalence rates largely reflect an increase in risk factors for type 2, notably greater longevity and being overweight or obese.<unk>  mellitus occurs throughout the world, but is more common (especially type 2) in the more developed countries. The greatest increase in prevalence is, however, occurring in low- and middle-income countries including in Asia and Africa, where most patients will probably be found by 2030. The increase in incidence in developing countries follows the trend of urbanization and lifestyle changes, including increasingly sedentary lifestyles, less physically demanding work and the global nutrition transition, marked by increased intake of foods that are high energy-dense but nutrient-poor (often high in sugar and saturated fats, sometimes referred to as the Western pattern diet). The risk of getting type 2<unk>  has been widely found to be associated with lower socio-economic position across countries. The WHO estimates that<unk>  resulted in 1.5 million deaths in 2012, making it the 8th leading cause of death. However another 2.2 million deaths worldwide were attributable to high blood glucose and the increased risks of associated complications (e.g. heart disease, stroke, kidney failure), which often result in premature death and are often listed as the underlying cause on death certificates rather than<unk> . A study done on Gomel city population with radiation exposure after the Chernobyl incident demonstrated increased incidence of type 1<unk>  mellitus.
