Quick Facts

  • The CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes' (CIHR-INMD) mandate supports research to enhance health in relation to diet, digestion, excretion and metabolism; and to address causes, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and palliation for a wide range of conditions and problems associated with hormone, digestive system, kidney and liver function.
  • Support for research into nutrition, metabolism and diabetes is more important than ever before:
    • One in four adult Canadians and one in 10 children have clinical obesity.
    • Diabetes is among the four most common chronic diseases and the seventh leading cause of death in Canada, and costs the Canadian economy $9 billion annually. As well, approximately 11 million Canadians are living with prediabetes, a condition that significantly increases the risk of several chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
    • One in 10 Canadians is at risk for kidney disease.
