Age-Adjusted Incidence of Diagnosed Diabetes per 1,000 Population Aged 18–79 Years, by Race/Ethnicity, United States, 1997–2010

The incidence of diagnosed diabetes was estimated from 1997 to 2010 due to small sample sizes of race groups prior to 1997. During this time period, age-adjusted incidence of diagnosed diabetes increased among all racial and ethnic groups, and was higher among blacks and Hispanics compared with whites. In 2010, age-adjusted incidence of diagnosed diabetes was 13.0 per 1,000 in blacks, 12.9 per 1,000 in Hispanics, and 7.7 per 1,000 in whites.
