Economic impact of diabetes

• WHO estimates that diabetes, stroke and heart disease together will cost about 555.7 billion US dollars (433 billion euros) in lost national income in China over the next 10 years, 303.2 billion dollars (236 billion euros) in the Russian Federation, 336.6 billion dollars (263 billion euros) in India and 49.2 billion dollars (38 billion euros) in Brazil. These estimates are based on lost productivity, resulting primarily from premature death.
