Abstract
Approximately 71% of all global deaths are attributable to non-communicable diseases.1 Type 2 diabetes represents one of the largest and fastest-growing non-communicable diseases in Aotearoa New Zealand (New Zealand).2 In The Lancet Global Health, Dahai Yu and colleagues3 investigate ethnic differences in mortality and hospital admission rates in a New Zealand population with type 2 diabetes between 1994 and 2018, outlining long-term temporal trends in clinical outcomes between Māori, Pacific, and European ethnic groups.
Highlights
71% of all global deaths are attributable to non-communicable diseases.[1]
The study used a retrospective cohort of patients from the Diabetes Care Support Service (DCSS), the data from which were linked with national death registration, hospital admission, pharmaceutical claim, and socioeconomic status databases to estimate cause-specific mortality and hospital admission rates.[3]
The results indicate that poorer health outcomes have persisted among Māori and Pacific people with type 2 diabetes over time compared with European patients
Summary
71% of all global deaths are attributable to non-communicable diseases.[1].
