- This study analyzes the rise of chronic kidney disease linked to type 2 diabetes (CKD-T2D) from 1990 to 2019 across 204 countries, focusing on differences in socio-demographic indexes (SDI).
- Findings reveal a significant increase in CKD-T2D rates, particularly in regions like Andean Latin America and North America, with males aged 60-79 years being most affected.
- The research highlights the urgency for targeted health interventions to mitigate the growing burden of CKD-T2D, especially in middle to high SDI areas.
