Objetivos: Analisar a prevalência da Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 na África do Sul, avaliar as causas e os efeitos colaterais, na saúde e na economia.
Métodos: Revisão bibliográfica da investigação recente, consulta dados oficiais dos governos, da Organização Mundial de Saúde e da Federação Internacional da Diabetes.
Resultados: Verificou-se um rápido aumento diabetes mellitus tipo 2 na África do Sul, apesar casos não diagnosticados. Agravaram-se as complicações de saúde associadas (cardiovasculares, amputações, retinopatias) e gastos económicos. Contatou-se também um aumento da mortalidade associada ao diagnóstico da DM.
Conclusões: A Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2, as suas complicações e gastos associados aumentaram globalmente nas últimas décadas. Há uma distribuição desigual dos cuidados em saúde entre continentes entre países e em todos eles entre zonas urbanas e rurais que obrigarão a uma abordagem que privilegie a educação para a saúde e o diagnóstico precoces.
Objectives: To analyse the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in South Africa, to assess the causes and side effects on health and economy. Methods: Literature review of recent research, consulting official data from governments, the World Health Organization, and the International Diabetes Federation. Results: There was a rapid increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus in South Africa despite undiagnosed cases. All associated health complications (cardiovascular, amputations and retinopathies, etc.) and economic costs worsened. There was an increase in mortality associated with the diagnosis of DM. Conclusions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, its complications and associated costs have increased globally in recent decades. There is an uneven distribution of health care between continents, countries and urban and rural areas that will require an approach that favours health education and early diagnosis.
