Epidemiology: Diabetes in Australia - Despite government efforts to promote healthy lifestyles, the number of cases of diabetes in Australia is set to soar
Datamonitor, June 2011, Pages: 44
Introduction
The number of people with type 2 diabetes will continue to increase, presenting a huge market for diabetic drugs, from more than 2.3 million cases in 2010 to 2.7 million cases in 2020. The major epidemiologic drivers for diabetes in Australia are population growth, the aging population, increases in underlying obesity, and decreased physical activity.
Features and benefits
- Gain insight to market potential, including a robust 10-year epidemiology forecast of incidence and prevalent cases of diabetes in Australia
- Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors associated with diabetes in Australia
Highlights
Datamonitor estimates that there will be a marginal increase in the incidence of cases of type 1 diabetes in children under the age of 14 in Australia between 2010 and 2020.
Datamonitor estimates that males aged 10–14 will account for the largest proportion (approximately 23%) of incident cases of type 1 diabetes during the 2010–20 forecast period, followed closely by females of the same age group.
Type 2 diabetes is the more common form of the disease. The number of diagnosed prevalent cases of type 2 diabetes will increase among all age groups in Australia from 2,341,674 cases in 2010 to 2,716,101 cases in 2020.
Your key questions answered
- What are the most robust sources for diabetes in Australia incidence and prevalence data?
- How will the patient population change over the next decade in Australia
- How do changes in population structure and risk factors affect the trend in incidence and prevalent diabetes cases?
