Remarks

Age-standardised prevalence of previously and newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2) based on analysis of blood glucose concentrations in a number of countries according to sex (sources: DECODE Study Group, 2003; Rathmann et al., 2003; Glümer et al., 2003 ; ERGO-study adapted by RIVM)

Age standardised prevalence of known and unknown diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2) based on analysis of blood glucose concentrations in some EU countries according to sex (30-64 years)Age standardised prevalence of known and unknown diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2) based on analysis of blood glucose concentrations in some EU countries according to sex (65-74 years)

Remarks

Previously diagnosed diabetes: patients with a prior history of diabetes.

Newly diagnosed diabetes: patients newly diagnosed with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Fasting glucose and glucose 2 hours after a standard 75-g OGTT were measured. Diabetes was defined with the WHO-1999 diagnostic criteria (WHO, 1999b).

Data from cohort-studies were age-standardised by RIVM according to the standard European population (Doll & Cook, 1967; Waterhouse et al., 1976). Therefore it is possible to compare countries.
