Kuwait Report\u201d. A huge contribution to this increased incidence is attributed to the population being overweight or obese. We have seen a rise in body mass index (BMI) in the population over the course of previous years and are expecting the same kind of rise in years to come.<\/p>\n<p>The global prevalence of diabetes continues to rise. The prevalence of diabetes was estimated by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) to be 9.3% in 2019, increased from 4.6% in 2000 in adults aged 20\u201379 years. The age-adjusted prevalence of adult diabetes in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, which includes Kuwait, was 12.2%, the highest estimated prevalence of all the IDF regions. Prevalence in the MENA region is expected to increase to 13.9% by 2045.<\/p>\n<p>Kuwait is a small country nestled between Iraq and Saudi Arabia on the Arabian Peninsula. The economic transformation has led to rapid urbanization, a sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical exercise, which has in turn led to a rise in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). A recent World Health Organization (WHO) STEPS cross-sectional survey found that almost 80% of Kuwaiti adults were overweight or obese in 2014, and almost 40% had diabetes or prediabetes. The socioeconomic burden of this mounting public health challenge has been large; Kuwait spends over $1000 (USD) per adult with diabetes, and NCDs were estimated to be the cause of 72% of all deaths in Kuwait in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Diabetes has become widespread and is now becoming more and more recognized as a public health concern for the country. Although some statistics exist, they are likely underreporting the true incidence of diabetes in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-2{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3675"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3675"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3805,"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3675\/revisions\/3805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
