Hospital Discharge Rates for Diabetes as Any-Listed Diagnosis per 1,000 Diabetic Population, by Age, United States, 1980–2005

Age-specific rates of hospital discharge for diabetes as any-listed diagnosis were highest among people with diabetes aged 75 or older, and declined with age. In 2005, rates among those aged 75 and older (589.8 per 1,000 people with diabetes) were more than two and a half times that of people younger than 45 years (221.5 per 1,000 people with diabetes). Trends in age-specific rates of hospital discharge for diabetes as any-listed diagnosis also varied by age during this period. In 2005, the rate among those younger than 45 years was more than 30% less than in 1980, and increased 0.8% among those aged 75 years or older (from 637.4 to 589.8 per 1,000 people).
