STEP T1D Study is

The STEP-T1D project analyzes recent geographical and temporal trends of T1D within Valle de Aburrá, Antioquia, Colombia.

While T1D cases are rising globally, data remains critically scarce in Latin America. To bridge this gap, our study integrates multiple data sources to accurately estimate incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates. By employing advanced epidemiological methods—such as capture-recapture and spatiotemporal modeling—we identify shifting patterns and generate future projections.

Our goal is to strengthen public health surveillance and guide better decision-making for patients and healthcare systems. Ultimately, STEP-T1D aims to serve as a replicable model for other Latin American regions seeking to transform complex data into life-changing health strategies.
