Health disparities in diabetes and its complications and comorbidities exist globally. A recent Endocrine Society Scientific Statement described the Health Disparities in several endocrine disorders, including type 2 diabetes. In this review, we summarize that statement and provide novel updates on race/ethnic differences in children and adults with type 1 diabetes, children with type 2 diabetes, and in Latino subpopulations. We also review race/ethnic differences in the epidemiology of diabetes, prediabetes, and diabetes complications and mortality in the United States and globally. Finally, we discuss biological, behavioral, social, environmental, and health system contributors to diabetes disparities to identify areas for future preventive interventions.
全球范围内,糖尿病及其并发症和合并症存在健康差异。最近,内分泌学会的一份科学声明描述了几种内分泌疾病的健康差异,包括 2 型糖尿病。在这篇综述中,我们总结了该声明,并提供了有关 1 型糖尿病、2 型糖尿病患儿以及拉丁裔亚人群中种族/民族差异的最新信息。我们还综述了美国和全球范围内糖尿病、糖尿病前期和糖尿病并发症及死亡率的流行病学中的种族/民族差异。最后,我们讨论了导致糖尿病差异的生物学、行为、社会、环境和卫生系统因素,以确定未来预防干预的领域。
