The prevalence of diabetes, and type 2 diabetes in particular, in women is increasing worldwide, although it is more pronounced in low-income countries. This increase is mostly due to population ageing and the ubiquitous rise in prevalence of obesity. Some of this rise is potentially preventable through lifestyle changes. A higher proportion of deaths in women than in men is attributable to diabetes. This article provides an overview of the specificities of diabetes in women and the implications of diabetes onset shifting to women of reproductive age.
全球范围内，女性糖尿病尤其是2型糖尿病的患病率正在上升，尽管在低收入国家更为明显。这种增长主要归因于人口老龄化和肥胖患病率的普遍上升。其中一些增长通过生活方式改变有可能预防。女性因糖尿病导致的死亡比例高于男性。本文概述了女性糖尿病的特殊性以及糖尿病发病向育龄女性转移的影响。
