The Epidemiology of Diabetes Mellitus
One new section features prevention and screening of both Type1 and Type 2 diabetes. Other new chapters cover the epidemiology of obesity and the impact of nutrition, and review available guidelines for better worldwide glycemic control. Future challenges, including the effects of antipsychotic treatment and HIV infection and therapy on diabetes, are also addressed.
All chapters have been completely revised and updated, covering:
- definitions, classification and risk factors for diabetes
- new evidence for screening and prevention of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
- epidemiology of complications and associated risk factors
- economic aspects: the direct and indirect costs of diabetes.
The Epidemiology of Diabetes Mellitus fills the need for a current compendium of diabetes epidemiology in the tradition of the first monumental text of the late Kelly West. It is essential reading for general practitioners, diabetologists, clinical endocrinologists, cardiologists, epidemiologists, nurses, dieticians, and other diabetes care providers, as well as health care decision makers.
