摘要

Diabetes imposes a substantial health burden, yet its macroeconomic consequences remain incompletely quantified. Here we use a health-augmented macroeconomic model to estimate output losses attributable to diabetes across 190 countries and territories during 2021–2050. We project that diabetes could reduce cumulative global output by 5.177 trillion international dollars over this period, with substantial heterogeneity in relative losses as a share of GDP across countries. Country-level burdens vary markedly, reflecting heterogeneity in demographic trends, macroeconomic conditions, diabetes prevalence, health-system capacity and treatment costs. Most projected output loss is attributable to diabetes-related disability rather than premature mortality. In this work, we provide comparable cross-country estimates of the long-run macroeconomic burden of diabetes, informing prioritization of prevention, treatment policies, and related investments.
