Characterizing epidemiology of prediabetes, diabetes, and hypertension in Qataris: A cross-sectional study

Abstract

One in five Qataris is living with either preDM or DM, and one in three is living with HTN, conditions that were found to be primarily driven by lifestyle factors. Prevention, control, and management of these conditions should be a national priority to reduce their disease burden and associated disease sequelae.
