The global prevalence of diabetes and associated metabolic diseases has increased dramatically in recent decades. The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 382 million people worldwide have diabetes (8.3% of adults), and that 592 million people (10% of adults) will have diabetes in 20351. The estimated population with diabetes is greater in the Western Pacific than other regions. In Korea, the prevalence of diabetes is 12.4%, or an estimated 4.01 million people2. Type 2 diabetes accounts for more than 95% of the diabetes cases in Korea. Patients with diabetes and society pay tremendous medical costs for diabetes treatment and managing its complications. In 2013, global health spending on diabetes reached at least US $548 billion, and this is estimated to exceed US $627 billion by 20351. Efforts to reduce the burden of diabetes involve clarification of its pathogenesis and the risk factors for diabetes. The main pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes involves b-cell dysfunction in the pancreas and peripheral insulin resistance. Factors contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes include old age, obesity, lack of physical activity, a family history of diabetes and a genetic predisposition. However, these traditional risk factors alone cannot explain the rapidly increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide (Figure 1).Recently, much research has examined factors beyond these conventional risk factors, including environmental chemicals, nutrients such as vitamin D and trace elements, and the intestinal microbiome. With uncontrolled industrialization, environmental pollutants have contaminated the air, water and soil. Consequently, people have been exposed to environmental chemicals unknowingly, continually, and chronically through inhalation and ingestion over the past several decades. Sometimes, chemical plant explosions or chemical weapons cause massive, acute exposure to environmental chemicals in specific regions.
