Age-adjusted rates for major cardiovascular disease as first-listed diagnosis per 1,000 diabetic population increased for both whites and blacks through the 1980s and then leveled off in the early 1990s. In the mid 1990s through 2003, rates for blacks showed little change while rates for whites decreased. In 2003, the rate for whites was similar to the rate in 1980 (40.9 vs. 43.8 per 1,000 diabetic population), while the rate for blacks was 61% higher than in 1980 (56.5 vs. 35.2 per 1,000 diabetic population).
