Dynamics of diabetes prevalence, incidence and mortality in France: A nationwide study, 2013–2021
Authors' conclusion
This study reports a favorable dynamic of diabetes over 2013-2019 followed by a sharp increase in incidence and mortality in 2020 and 2021. Continued monitoring is necessary to identify long-term trend and potential indirect effect of the pandemic.
