Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Non-communicable diseases are becoming major problems of public health importance in most developing countries as a result of effects of globalization and epidemiologic transition. However, there is little evidence about the diabetes and other non-communicable diseases in these countries. To conduct systematic review of literature on magnitude of diabetes, the relationship between malnutrition and diabetes, the complications of diabetes and the management of diabetes in Ethiopia. Relevant studies and other evidences were identified by searches in the EMBASE from 1970 to Dec 2011 and by reviewing the reference lists from retrieved articles. Besides, relevant articles from non-indexed local journals were also included. Data were extracted and summarized using the major themes of the systematic review. Though estimated to be at 2% at national level, evidences suggest that the prevalence of diabetes could reach up to more than 5% in those above 40 years of age in some settings. Studies in the 1990s and 1980s have reported varied evidences on malnutrition-related diabetes. However, more recent studies are reconfirming a strong association between malnutrition and diabetes. There is remarkable prevalence of both acute and chronic complications among diabetic cases in Ethiopia. More than one-third but less than half of diabetic cases in Ethiopia receive standard diabetes care. In response to the emergence of diabetes and other non-communicable diseases, effective and efficient prevention and control strategies should be designed and implemented in Ethiopia. |
