Crude and Age-Adjusted Incidence of Diagnosed Diabetes per 1,000 Population Aged 18–79 Years, United States, 1980–2011
From 1980 to 2011, the crude incidence of diagnosed diabetes increased 133% from 3.3 to 7.7 per 1,000 population. Similarly, the age–adjusted incidence increased 117% from 3.5 to 7.6 per 1,000 population, suggesting that the majority of the change was not due to the aging of the population. However, from 1980 to 2008, incidence did not increase at a constant rate. Both crude and age–adjusted incidence remained unchanged in the 1980s, and then increased beginning in the 1990s through 2008. From 2009 to 2011, both crude and age–adjusted incidence of diagnosed diabetes have decreased in, however more data are needed to determine if the decrease is significant.
