Across the world, 537 million people were living with diabetes in 2021, of whom 61 million in Europe, and this figure is anticipated to increase to 643 by 2030 (67 million in Europe).

An estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide live with hypertension (HTN). HTN is also approximately twice as prevalent in people living with diabetes as in the general population.

One of the aims of the DigiCare4You project is to create a supportive social and physical environment within schools and communities for all citizens, beyond the individuals and families participating in the DigiCare4You intervention. In consideration of this, part of the DigiCare4You solution is a school intervention in which teachers will be trained to create a supportive environment that promotes the adoption of healthy and active lifestyles. To support this aim, material adapted to each country has been developed for the school-component of the project.

The diabetes and hypertension country profile of Bulgaria is now also available in Bulgarian.

You can now also find the country profiles under the ‘General Information’ tab on the website.
