Introduction: Globally, Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM) has been increasing and affected 15.8 million people of all ages in G20 countries in 2019. This study aims to outline the T1DM burden in G20 countries, which hold substantial global population and economic influence.
Method: Using the Global Burden of Disease method, non-fatal health outcomes were estimated with DISMOD-MR 2.1, and fatal outcomes were evaluated using CODEm, stratified by age, gender, year, and location in G20 countries from 1990-2019.
Results: From 1990-2019, there was a substantial increase in T1DM prevalence, with a 99% rise in cases, a 31% increase in deaths, and a 40% increase in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) within G20 countries. France and Saudi Arabia had the highest increases in age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) at 138% and 112%, respectively. In terms of death rates, India had a 1% increase, while other countries showed decreases. Males had a higher burden than females, with higher incidence (27% vs. 22%), deaths (14% vs. -12%), and DALYs (17% vs. -0.03%) from 1990-2019. The highest incidence was among 5-9-year-olds, and the highest number of deaths occurred in those aged 95 and above in 2019.
Conclusion: T1DM contributed to 55.4% of all T1DM-related deaths worldwide within the G20 countries. Gender disparities are evident, with higher burdens observed in males, and age-specific care is crucial.
