Over the last two decades, rates of metabolic diseases including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity, have increased, especially in high-income countries, according to international researchers including an Australian. The study found there were increases in the rates of all metabolic diseases across all countries, but the highest mortality was found in the Eastern Mediterranean region, and low to low-middle income countries. The authors say the rising prevalence of metabolic diseases over the past two decades presents a large burden to global health and urgent action is needed.
