Burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its risk factors in North Africa and the Middle East, 1990–2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019 - BMC Public Health
Our findings confirmed the previous evidence on the roles of metabolic, behavioral, and environmental factors in the mortality from T2DM. Based on our findings, the most important risk factor for T2DM mortality is due to high Fasting Blood Glucose [FPG]. In the present study, we shed light on the ranking of risk factors attributed to mortality from T2DM for each country in the region. Recent studies have shown a link between high temperature and the risk of developing diabetes and gestational diabetes. Recent studies revealed the association between high temperature and the risk of diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus [27,28,29].
