To analyze the prevalence of diabetes among U.S. adults 20 and older, CDC researchers reviewed data from 1999-2000 and from August 2021-August 2023. At the turn of the century, the age-adjusted prevalence of total diabetes increased 9.7%. By 2021-2023, that figure had risen to 14.3%.
Four key findings:
- Between August 2021 and August 2023, the total prevalence of diabetes was 15.8%, with undiagnosed cases making up 4.5%.
- Diabetes prevalence was lower among adults with higher education levels.
- Prevalence increased with age and weight.
- Diabetes was more common in men than women, at 18% and 13.7%, respectively.
