Abstract
It is understood that Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic syndrome, which affects several body systems and has an insidious onset. In the meantime, when the disease manifests itself, it is already more advanced. The pathophysiology involves inefficient production and poor absorption of glucose in the body. It is estimated that there are 18.5 million people with Diabetes and this is projected to increase in the coming years. Given this, the objective of the work was to analyze the predominance of DM in Brazil between 2019 and 2023, through comparisons between regions, considering the incidence of the variables of hospitalizations, age, sex, color and deaths, through tables and graphics with the aim of adding scientific knowledge about DM. The methodology used was through an epidemiological, descriptive, indirect documentary study, carried out between 2020 and 2023, quantitative, with information being discussed in a comparative manner through information from DataSus. This search was carried out in June 2024. In the meantime, the variables were: number of hospitalizations, age, sex, color and deaths. It was observed that the Southeast and Northeast areas exhibit the highest number of hospitalizations, representing 68.5% and represent the largest population group aged 60-69 years, which is the range with the most people with diabetes. It was noted that there is no substantial influence of the disease on the division by gender; white and brown individuals represent 27.5% and 46%, respectively. In terms of deaths, the Southeast region, followed by the Northeast region, also has the highest proportions: 38.38% and 33.62%, respectively. Thus, it is confirmed that Diabetes Mellitus is a condition present in all 5 regions of Brazil, with an insidious onset, which affects all age groups, but with a greater predisposition for people over 50 years of age, requiring greater attention and investments in care. primary, which is where early diagnosis occurs.
