Figure 2

Projected health expenditure for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Jordan, 1990–2050. The figure shows (A) expenditure assuming fixed annual per capita health expenditure between 2016 and 2050, (B) expenditure assuming increasing annual per capita health expenditure between 2016 and 2050 based on extrapolation of the increasing historical trend, and (C) proportion of Jordan’s total health expenditure that is spent on T2DM. The health expenditure directly attributed to T2DM out of Jordan’s total healthcare expenditure was calculated per the Jönsson’s approach³¹. The annual per capita health expenditure in Jordan between 1995 and 2015 was provided by World Bank data³³.
