Data & TrendsNational Diabetes Surveillance System
Prevalence of DiabetesBehavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Selected Metropolitan/Micropolitan Area Risk Trends (SMART) State-specific Estimates of Diagnosed Diabetes Among AdultsThe series of maps (listed on the right) displays the increasing prevalence (existing cases) of diagnosed diabetes among the adult populations of states between 1994 and 2005. In 1994, 14 states had an age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes of less than 4% and only two states had an age-adjusted prevalence of 6% or greater. However, by 2005, no state had an age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes of less than 4% and 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands had an age-adjusted prevalence of 6% or greater. Among the 49 states having data for 1994 and 2005, the age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was at least 50% higher in 2005 than in 1994 in 27 states (Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. ) (see detailed tables for maps). In 2005, the age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes ranged from a high of 11.6% in Puerto Rico to a low of 4.9% in Colorado. |
