        abstract = {Diabetes mellitus and obesity have emerged as intertwined global epidemics with profound health, economic, and societal consequences. The coexistence and interaction of these conditions commonly termed “diabesity” reflect complex epidemiological transitions driven by demographic shifts, urbanization, globalization of food systems, and sedentary lifestyles. This review provides a comprehensive epidemiological perspective on the global dynamics of obesity and diabetes, examining prevalence trends, geographic distribution, determinants, life-course influences, pathophysiological links, socioeconomic disparities, and policy responses. The analysis highlights the accelerating burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the rising incidence in younger populations, and the economic implications for health systems. The review further explores prevention strategies, multisectoral policy approaches, and future directions in surveillance and precision public health. Addressing diabesity requires coordinated global action that integrates clinical management with structural and environmental reform.},
