Rapidly Growing Number of People Developing Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU)- It is estimated that between 9 and 26 million people worldwide suffer from diabetic foot ulcers every year. A diabetic foot ulcer is likely to develop during the lifetime of 16 to 24% of patients with diabetes complications.
Increasing Prevalence of Obesity Worldwide- Obesity is one the primary risk factors of diabetic ulcers, obesity defects the tissues that causes insulin resistance and glucose uptake. In the period 2000-2020, obesity prevalence increased by 30.5% to 41.9% in the United States. Ages 20-39 showed an obesity prevalence of 39.8%, 40-59 age groups, 44.3%, and 60+ age groups showed a prevalence of 41.5%.
