Epidemiology - Malaysia
DM in Malaysia;
IGT
If estimating the population of Malaysia in 1996 to be approximately 21 million, the total number of diabetic sufferers would approximately be 1.7 million. With further industrialization plus modernization, the number of people affected by diabetes may double by 2010. According to the Second National Health and Morbidity survey it is estimated that 3.4 million Malaysians are diabetes sufferers in 2010.
Results of the two latest National Health and Morbidity Surveys showed a dramatic increase in the prevalence of diabetes from 8.3% in 1996 to 14.9% in 2006 for Malaysian adults aged 30 years and above - an increase of 80% over a period of just 10 years.

DM based on area:
The urban areas recorded significantly higher prevalence from the rural areas. As many literature documented, the prevalence increased with age for all the 3 categories of diabetes.
DM based on ethnic:

Indians (11.5%, 9.7% - 13.2%) was significantly higher than other races.

Similarly, no significant differences were found in gender and income for known and undiagnosed diabetes, Although many prevalence studies showed high prevalence of NIDDM in females than males, analysis on many incidence studies in US by Nelson R.G. and Everhart J. E. showed no evidence of gender influence on risks for NIDDM.
Epidemiology - others country
Epidemiology of DM in Global:
The World Health Organization (WHO) published estimates for the years
2000 and 2030, using data from 40 countries but extrapolated to the 191 WHO
member states that the prevalence of diabetes for all age-groups worldwide
was estimated.

Symptoms
The symptoms of
diabetes do vary from
person to person which can be identified with good knowledge of symptoms of
blood sugar. There is a statistical report to focus United States alone to
suffer with more than 15 million persons with adult onset diabetes. About 25%
of the patients don’t have the awareness of the attack of this disease.
