Age-Adjusted Percentage of Civilian, Noninstitutionalized Population with Diagnosed Diabetes, by Race and Sex, United States, 1980–2006
Data show that blacks are disproportionately affected by diabetes. From 1980
through 2006, the age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes increased among
all sex-race groups examined. From 1980 through 2006, the age-adjusted
prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was higher among blacks than whites, and highest
among black females. During this time period, age-adjusted prevalence increased
116% among white males, 81% among white females, 100% among black males, and 69%
among black females. Among Asians, the age-adjusted prevalence among males
increased 42% and females increased 38% from 1997 through 2006.
