Crude and Age-Adjusted Incidence of Diagnosed Diabetes per 1000 Population Aged 18-79 Years, United States, 1980–2005
From 1980 to 2005, the crude incidence of diagnosed diabetes increased 124% from 3.3 per 1000 to 7.4 per 1000. Similarly, the age-adjusted incidence increased 114%, suggesting that the majority of the change was not due to the aging of the population. However, from 1980 to 2005, incidence did not increase at a constant rate. Both crude and age-adjusted incidence remained unchanged in 1980s, and then increased sharply in 1990s through 2005.
