From: Forecasting future prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Syria
Predicted effect of a hypothetical 10-years prevention program (starting in 2003) on prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The hypothetical prevention program used here is assumed to target a group of non-diabetic persons (10% of healthy, 40% of obese, and 20% of smoker) with an expected reduction of 25% of obesity and 50% of smoking in 10 years.
