Prevalence and Burden of Diabetes-Related Foot Disease in New South Wales, Australia: Evidence from the 45 and Up Study Survey Data Linked with Health Services Data
Diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) is a major public health concern due to the higher risks of hospitalisation. However, estimates of the prevalence of DFD in the general population are not available in Australia. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of DFD and diabetes-related lower-extremit...

The NSW 45 and Up Study baseline survey data of 267,086 persons aged 45 years and over, linked with health services’ administrative data from 2006 to 2012 were used in our study.
