Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a high prevalence worldwide, frequently associated with various comorbidities that aggravate the health status of patients. The general objective of this review article was to demonstrate the comorbidities associated with diabetes mellitus in the adult population. The methodology used was a descriptive systematic documentary review. The results show a significant variability in the prevalence of DM, with rates ranging from 8.5% (n=12,811) in Argentina to 67% (n=1,911) in Saudi Arabia. The most common comorbidities associated with DM include hypertension (HT), dyslipidemia, and obesity, with prevalences of HT reaching up to 70%. These comorbidities not only complicate the management of DM, but also increase the risk of developing cardiovascular and renal disease. Among the diagnostic methods, I highlight the use of fasting plasma glucose testing. In conclusion, the high prevalence of DM and its associated comorbidities highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to diabetes management. This approach should include strategies for prevention and treatment of comorbidities to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of diabetic patients. The findings underscore the importance of implementing public health policies and intervention programs that address both the prevention of diabetes and the management of its comorbidities in the adult population.
