Co-occurrence patterns and related risk factors of ischemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes in burden of disability-adjusted life years among people aged 55 years and older across 203 countries and territories
The co-occurrence of IHD and T2DM exhibits pronounced global heterogeneity, with Pacific Island nations and multiple geographic regions including Gulf states, North Africa, and other areas bearing disproportionate dual-burden. Socioeconomic development level fundamentally characterizes dual-burden status, while dietary and environmental factors serve as key regional differentiators. Intervening in modifiable risk factors, particularly processed meat consumption, vegetable intake, and environmental exposures, can fundamentally reduce the global burden of these co-occurring diseases.
