Diabetes Mellitus: Aspects of the World-Wide Epidemiology of Diabetes Mellitus and Its Long Term Complications

By J.M. Ekoe

This book bridges the ten years that have elapsed since Kelly West's monograph on diabetes. Much has happened in the last decade, and Diabetes Mellitus provides a stimulating 'state of the art' review of recent epidemiological studies spanning the globe. The scope of the studies stands as a testament to the intense activity in diabetes epidemiology and the enormous contribution the discipline has made to a better understanding of the socio-economic impact, demographic distribution and the natural history and etiology of the various forms of diabetes around the world. This decade of progress, so well described by Dr. Ekoe, provides the springboard for the ultimate dream - the prevention of diabetes mellitus and its devastating complications.
