Crude and Age-Adjusted Percentage of Persons with Diabetes Aged 35 Years and Older Reporting a Cardiovascular Disease Condition, United States, 1997–2007

Between 1997 and 2007, the crude percentage of persons with diabetes aged 35 years and older self-reporting any cardiovascular disease condition (i.e., coronary heart disease, stroke, or other heart condition) decreased from 40.7% to 34.5%. The age-adjusted percentage declined from 36.6% in 1997 to 31.4% in 2007. Trends in the crude and age-adjusted percentage were similar, suggesting that the aging of the population had little or no effect on trends.
