Crude and Age-Adjusted Prevalence of Diagnosed Diabetes per 100 Population, United States, 1980–2005
In 2005, about 5.5% of the U.S. population reported that they had diabetes. From 1980 through 2005, increases in the crude and age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes were similar, indicating that most of the increase in prevalence was not because of changes in age structure of the population. From 1980 through 2005, the crude prevalence of diagnosed diabetes increased 120%.
