Eligible datasets were identified through a systematic search of PubMed. We excluded cohorts of participants with only thyroid disease or thyroid-altering medications, or pregnant individuals. We requested data from all eligible cohorts that agreed to participate in the study. Linear mixed models were used to investigate associations between age and thyroid function, stratified for sex and regional iodine status. Annual changes in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT<sub>4</sub>) were estimated per individual and categorised into quintiles, with the highest and lowest quintiles defined as increasing and decreasing, respectively, and the rest as stable. Patterns of thyroid function change were identified based on combined TSH and FT<sub>4</sub> evolution.

Cross-sectionally, older age was associated with higher TSH in iodine-sufficient regions and with lower TSH in iodine-insufficient regions.

The overall increase in TSH from age 18 years to 100 years was 0·61 mIU/L (0·52 SD) for female participants and 0·99 mIU/L (0·76) for male participants from iodine-sufficient regions. Greater variability in population distribution and longitudinal TSH changes was observed in adults aged 65 years or older. Higher FT<sub>4</sub> with older age was suggested cross-sectionally, but longitudinally FT<sub>4</sub> increased in iodine-sufficient regions and decreased in iodine-insufficient regions. Compared with stable thyroid function, all changing patterns were associated with increased all-cause mortality: hazard ratios of 1·80 (95% CI 1·57-2·06) for increasing TSH with stable or decreasing FT<sub>4</sub>; 2·45 (2·01-2·97) for increasing TSH and increasing FT<sub>4</sub>; 2·45 (1·99-3·01) for decreasing TSH with decreasing FT<sub>4</sub>; and 1·94 (1·68-2·24) for decreasing TSH with stable or increasing FT<sub>4</sub>.</p><p><strong>Inter","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":" ","pages":"485-497"},"PeriodicalIF":36.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13590157/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This surge has exposed deep structural challenges, including an over-reliance on hospital-based services and strong cultural and faith-based influences that shape health-seeking behaviours. These factors, combined with socioeconomic inequalities and urbanisation, contribute to poor glycaemic control. Several strategies have been proposed to tackle this problem, including task shifting, integrated models that make use of HIV care infrastructure, digital health tools such as SMS reminders, culturally adapted lifestyle and nutrition programmes, community-based and faith-based interventions, and public–private partnerships. Despite these promising approaches, evidence of long-term sustainability, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and the impact of these interventions remains scarce. Additionally, stigma, gender-related barriers, and patient-reported outcomes are insufficiently studied in sub-Saharan Africa. Large-scale, longitudinal research is urgently needed to assess health system strengthening and culturally grounded models. Achieving effective diabetes care will require resilient, inclusive systems that integrate clinical, community, and digital innovations within the sociocultural and economic realities of the region.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147751558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This Series paper synthesises current evidence on diabetes-related complications in sub-Saharan Africa and examines shared cardiometabolic risks, mental health comorbidities, and interactions with communicable diseases through a multiple long-term conditions lens. Widespread late diagnosis and inadequate control of key cardiometabolic risk factors (eg, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obesity, and hyperglycaemia) drive high complication rates—whereas mental health disorders and infectious disease comorbidities further exacerbate susceptibility. Although risk factor reduction is central to preventing diabetes complications in sub-Saharan Africa, progress is impeded by multilevel barriers spanning individual, interpersonal, health system, societal, and policy domains. To address this growing complexity, we identify priorities for research and implementation, including the development of context-specific guidelines, scalable integrated care models, strengthened surveillance systems, and long-term cohorts co-designed with communities, health-care providers, and policy makers.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147751559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
