Incidence of Diagnosed Diabetes per 1,000 Population Aged 18–79 Years, by Age, United States, 1980–2007
Across all age groups, the incidence of diagnosed diabetes showed little change during the 1980s. However, in the 1990s incidence began to increase in all age groups. During the 2000s, incidence continued to increase among those aged 18–44 years but in the two older age groups, the rate of increase in incidence appeared to have slowed. Additional years of data are needed to confirm the encouraging trends in those 45 years of age and older.
