Death rate for diabetes mellitus in Canada 2000-2022

The death rate due to diabetes mellitus in Canada has fallen since 2000 from 21.8 per 100,000 population to 19.4 deaths per 100,000 population in 2022. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in Canada. In the United States, it was responsible for 25.4 deaths per 100,000 population in 2021. About diabetesDiabetes mellitus is due to an insufficient production of insulin within the pancreas or a lack of response from the body to the insulin that is produced. The most common type of diabetes mellitus is type II diabetes, which accounts for over 90 percent of diabetes cases in the United States. Type II diabetes occurs when cells in the body are unresponsive to insulin and may lead to a decrease in insulin production as well. Prevention and costsOne of the greatest problems with type II diabetes is that it can lead to many different complications such as some types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and even amputations. This type of diabetes is largely associated with overweight and obese populations and those who are physically inactive. It is also considered a preventable disease by maintaining healthy diets and balanced lifestyles. Health care expenditures to treat diabetes in the United States amounted to around 379.5 billion U.S. dollars as of 2021, while China, a country with a lower diabetes incidence but a much larger population, spent about 165 billion U.S. dollars.

自2000年以来，加拿大由于糖尿病引起的死亡率已从每十万人口21.8例降至2022年的每十万人口19.4例。糖尿病在加拿大已成为导致死亡的第七大原因。在美国，2021年该病导致了每十万人口25.4例的死亡。关于糖尿病，糖尿病 mellitus是由于胰腺胰岛素分泌不足或身体对所产生胰岛素缺乏反应而引起的。最常见类型的糖尿病为II型糖尿病，占美国糖尿病病例的90%以上。当身体细胞对胰岛素无反应时，II型糖尿病发生，并可能导致胰岛素分泌减少。预防和成本方面，II型糖尿病的最大问题是其可能导致多种并发症，如某些类型的癌症、心血管疾病，甚至截肢。此类糖尿病与超重和肥胖人群以及缺乏运动的人群密切相关，并且被认为是可通过维持健康饮食和平衡的生活方式来预防的疾病。截至2021年，美国用于治疗糖尿病的医疗保健支出约为3795亿美元，而中国，尽管糖尿病发病率较低，但人口众多，其支出约为1650亿美元。
