The Global Diabetes Compact is a WHO-driven initiative uniting stakeholders around
goals of reducing diabetes risk and ensuring that people with diabetes have equitable
access to comprehensive, affordable care and prevention. In this report we describe
the development and scientific basis for key health metrics, coverage, and treatment
targets accompanying the Compact. We considered metrics across four domains: factors
at a structural, system, or policy level; processes of care; behaviours and biomarkers
such as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c); and health events and outcomes; and three risk
tiers (diagnosed diabetes, high risk, or whole population), and reviewed and prioritised
them according to their health importance, modifiability, data availability, and global
inequality.

By 2025, adult obesity prevalence is projected to increase in 44 of 53 of European-region countries. Childhood obesity tracks directly onto adult obesity, and children of low socioeconomic position families are at disproportionately higher risk of being obese compared with their more affluent peers. A previous review of research from developed countries identified factors mediating this relationship. This systematic review updates and extends those findings specifically within the context of Ireland and the United Kingdom. The aim of this systematic review is to summarise peer-reviewed research completed in Ireland and the United Kingdom between 2011–2021 examining mediators of socioeconomic differentials in adiposity outcomes for youth. An electronic search of four databases, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and EBSCOhost was conducted. Quantitative studies, published in the English language, examining mediators of socioeconomic differentials in adiposity outcomes in youth,
