High prevalence of Diabetes in Birmingham, UK

High prevalence of Diabetes in Birmingham, UK


Research published at the Diabetes UK conference in Spring 2008 show a high prevalence of diabetes in Birmingham. The Deadly Trio project reported that nearly 15% of men over the age of 40 years have diabetes in Birmingham. This figure is 9% higher than the national average. It was thought the high prevalence of T2D is due to obesity and high levels of deprivation.
