TI  - Diabetes and Obesity Trends in Tonga Over 40 Years.

AB  - Disparate population surveys of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been 
      conducted in Tonga for 4 decades. This study standardizes these surveys to enable 
      assessment of T2DM and obesity trends in Tongans aged 25 to 64 years over 
      1973-2012, and projects T2DM prevalence to 2020 based on demographic and 
      population weight changes. Eight surveys were standardized to the nearest census 
      to produce nationally representative estimates. Linear period trends and 
      prevalence projections to 2020 were produced using random-effects 
      meta-regression. Over 1973-2012, T2DM prevalence increased from 5.2% to 19.0% 
      (1.9%/5 years) and obesity prevalence from 56.0% to 70.2% (2.7%/5 years). T2DM 
      prevalence period projection to 2020 is 22.3%. Based on modeling using body mass 
      index, T2DM prevalence in 2020 could have been 12.7% and 16.8% in 2020 had mean 
      population weight been 1 to 4 kg lower than 2012 levels.
