About CAPTURE

CAPTURE is the first global non-interventional study to capture the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and risk and its management in people living with type 2 diabetes. The objectives were to establish the proportion of people with type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and to document the use of cardiovascular risk-reducing medicines in people with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was defined as cerebrovascular disease (including carotid artery disease), coronary heart disease and/or peripheral artery disease. The CAPTURE study, sponsored by Novo Nordisk, was conducted in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Czech Republic, China, France, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Turkey, involving nearly 10,000 people with type 2 diabetes. Participants had to be at least 18 years of age and diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for at least 180 days.

Novo Nordisk is a leading global healthcare company, founded in 1923 and headquartered in Denmark. Our purpose is to drive change to defeat diabetes and other serious chronic diseases such as obesity and rare blood and endocrine disorders. We do so by pioneering scientific breakthroughs, expanding access to our medicines and working to prevent and ultimately cure disease. Novo Nordisk employs about 43,500 people in 80 countries and markets its products in around 170 countries. For more information, visit novonordisk.com, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube.
