Ecuador Diabetes and NCD Summary

Background

• Population: Approximately 16.1 million.
• Income Group: Upper middle.

Mortality Data

• Diabetes mortality has high uncertainty due to reliance on international data and lacks national NCD mortality statistics.
• Proportional mortality (age-standardized): Diabetes accounts for 35% of all deaths, cardiovascular diseases for 30%, injuries for 15%, cancers for 17%, and other NCDs for 17%. No data available for diarrhea-related deaths or other specific causes.

Diabetes Prevalence and Risk Factors

• Age-specific diabetes deaths:
  • Ages 30–69: 630 males, 650 females for diabetes deaths; 1010 males, 1000 females for high blood glucose deaths.
  • Ages 70+: 810 males, 1210 females for diabetes deaths; 1350 males, 2360 females for high blood glucose deaths.
• Overall diabetes prevalence: 7.3% (males: 6.7%, females: 7.9%).
• Key risk factors: Overweight (52.8% overall, with higher rates in females), obesity (18.0% overall), and physical inactivity (24.5% overall).

National Response

• Policies and guidelines: Operational plans for diabetes, overweight/obesity reduction, and physical inactivity exist and are partially implemented. Diabetes guidelines are available but not fully applied.
• Healthcare availability: Insulin and basic diabetes medications are available in primary care (e.g., metformin, sulphonylurea). Essential diagnostic technologies like blood glucose measurement and HbA1c tests are accessible; however, specialized treatments like renal replacement therapy are not widely available.
• Monitoring: No national diabetes registry, but a recent survey included blood glucose measurements.
