Social determinants of diabetes‐related foot disease among older adults in New South Wales, Australia: evidence from a population‐based study

Abstract

Our study showed that about 1 in 10 adults with diabetes aged 45 years and older in NSW reported DFD. Interventions, including the provision of related health services aimed at reducing all forms of DFD in NSW, are recommended to target older individuals with a long history of diabetes, and coming from lower-income households.
