    The Economics of Type 2 Diabetes in Middle-Income Countries Till Seuring Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia, UK Norwich Medical School March 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis researches the economics of type 2 diabetes in middle-income coun- tries (MICs). Given the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes in MICs, in-depth country specific analysis is key for understanding the economic consequences of type 2 diabetes. The thesis consists of four studies with the unifying theme of improving the understanding of the causal impact of diabetes on economic out- comes. Study (1) provides an updated overview, critically assesses and identifies gaps in the current literature on the economic costs of type 2 diabetes using a systematic review approach; study (2) investigates the effects of self-reported diabetes on employment probabilities in Mexico, using cross-sectional data and making use of a commonly used instrumental variable approach; study (3) re- visits and extends these results via the use of a fixed effects panel data analy- sis, also considering a broader range of outcomes, including wages and working hours. Further, it makes use of cross-sectional biomarker data that allow for the investigation of undiagnosed diabetes. Study (4) researches the effect of a dia- betes diagnosis on employment as well as behavioural risk factors in China, using longitudinal data and applying an alternative identification strategy, marginal structural models estimation, while comparing these results with fixed effects es- timation results.

Law is pervasive and affects many aspects of people’s lives, women and men alike. Law and justice impact people’s capacity to accumulate endowments, enjoy returns to such endowments, access rights and resources, and act as free, autonomous agents in society. The World Development Report (WDR) 2012 on Gender Equality and Development highlights the relevant role of law and justice in achieving gender equality. Teaching about gender is increasingly looked as a way to make progress in a global culture that continues to uphold men and boys' entitlement to control women and girls. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, ratified by the UK in April 1986, is an international bill of rights for women which recognizes the role of culture and tradition in perpetuating gender discrimination.

DAVE Abstract Background: Hypertension and gestational diabetes are among the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality, especially in rural areas of developing countries with meager health facilities. With early diagnosis and timely treatment, these adverse events can be decreased. The primary aim of this study was to implement a screening program for gestational diabetes and hypertension, and to assess risk factors associated with these conditions among antenatal women in the rural area of the Gujarat province in India. Methods: A cross–sectional study was conducted at one of the rural areas of Gujarat province in India. Following a random cluster sampling procedure, the village of Davas was selected. A multistage random sampling method was utilized, resulting in a sample of 346 antenatal women. Screening guidelines from the American Diabetes Association were followed for gestational diabetes screening.

(2019). Diabetes Research, Prevalence, and Intervention in India. European Journal of Environment and Public Health, 3(1), em0023. https://doi.org/10.20897/ejeph/4004 Published: July 11, 2019 ABSTRACT The chronic burden of diabetes on the health of individuals has extensive economic and public health impact on the well-being of any nation. Strategies in place to curtail the growing epidemic challenges mediate their interventions through the informative and preventive programs in place. Research being done to overcome these challenges gives hope towards what one can do at an individual level. The journey towards prevention is a long road once the limitations of the healthcare industry are realized. Keywords: diabetes, diabetes prevalence, public health interventions, diabetes research, diabetes in India INTRODUCTION Diabetes is a global public health problem whose burden is evident in developing countries such as India (Kaveeshwar and Cornwall, 2014). According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 422 million adults had diabetes in 2014 (Kakkar, 2016). The global prevalence of diabetes is estimated to be 366 million by 2030 (Wild et al., 2004); the overall global prevalence decreasing, with India having the largest number of diagnosed individuals (Katikireddi et al., 2011). Prevalence is defined as the total number of individuals in a population who have a disease or health condition at a specific period of time, usually expressed as a percentage of the population (Harvard School of Public Health, n.d.).

ON THE COVER Toney McGilberry, a mechanic from Durham, North Carolina, is working to manage his diabetes with the help of a nurse practitioner from the Duke Together on Diabetes project. The nurse practitioner visits him in his home or – if more convenient for him – at his auto repair business. At each visit, she monitors his blood glucose, reviews his medications and together they discuss healthy eating and physical activity goals and options. A Message from the President The global diabetes epidemic carries with it a particularly complex set of health inequities. There are inequities among populations experiencing high prevalence and poor outcomes; inequities in access to quality medical care, treatment and support; and inequities in the health environments and self-management resources surrounding people living with diabetes.
