In this commentary, I assess the adverse syndemic interactions between COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus. This syndemic is of major concern for a country like Mexico which has seen a steady rise in the percentage of its population suffering these diseases. Mexico now has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the world and a rapidly growing COVID-19 caseload.
在这篇评论中,我评估了 COVID-19 和糖尿病之间的不利综合征相互作用。对于墨西哥这样一个其人口中患有这些疾病的比例稳步上升的国家来说,这种综合征令人严重关切。墨西哥现在是世界上糖尿病发病率最高的国家之一,COVID-19 病例也在迅速增加。
