Incidence of Diagnosed Diabetes per 1,000 Population Aged 18–79 Years, by Sex and Age, United States, 1997–2010

Incidence of diagnosed diabetes was estimated from 1997 to 2010, due to small sample sizes of sex–age groups prior to 1997. During this time period, incidence increased for men in all age groups. For women, incidence increased among those aged 18–44 years and 45–64 years. Among women aged 65–79, the trend was less consistent.
