Angola Diabetes Profile Summary

Country Overview

• Population: Approximately 25 million, classified in the upper middle-income group.

Diabetes Mortality and Deaths

• Diabetes-related deaths are significant, with high numbers in the age group 30-69 (1,850 males and 1,760 females combined). Deaths increase with age, e.g., under 70 contributing the bulk.
• Mortality estimates have high uncertainty due to lack of national data.

Burden of Chronic Diseases

• Chronic diseases account for 35% of deaths among older adults (ages 70+). Diabetes is a leading cause, with trends showing rising in age-standardized prevalence.
• Key contributors include cardiovascular diseases (35%), cancers (2%), and respiratory diseases (30%), with diabetes claiming 1% to 25% of the total.

Diabetes Prevalence and Risk Factors

• Overall diabetes prevalence is 5.6%, similar for males and females after age adjustment.
• High rates of overweight (27.1%) and obesity (8.5%) are major risk factors, while physical inactivity data is not available.

National Response Assessment

• No operational policies or strategies for diabetes management.
• Absence of evidence-based guidelines, patient referral standards, or diabetes registry.
• Risk factor reduction policies (e.g., for overweight or physical inactivity) are not in place.
• Recent risk factor surveys without blood glucose data are unknown.

Availability of Medical Resources

• Limited availability of diabetes medications and technologies in the public sector, with insulin and basic tests like blood glucose measurement accessible regionally.
• Diagnostics like HbA1c tests and renal dialysis services are partially available but lack comprehensive national coverage.
• Many advanced procedures (e.g., renal replacement therapy, dilation) are not standard.
