Measurement Period: 2021-2023

Filter: none (all Zip Codes)

This indicator shows the age-adjusted hospitalization rate due to long-term complications of diabetes per 10,000 population aged 18 years and older. Cases include a primary diagnosis of a long-term complication of diabetes. Long-term complications of diabetes include eye, renal, neurological, or circulatory complications or complications not otherwise specified. Cases of gestational diabetes are excluded.

Why is this important?

The prevalence of diagnosed type 2 diabetes increased sixfold in the latter half of the 20th century according to the CDC. Diabetes risk factors such as obesity and physical inactivity have played a major role in this dramatic increase. Age, race, and ethnicity are also important risk factors. The direct economic cost of diabetes in the United States is extremely large. The burden of diabetes is further bolstered when taking into account the indirect economic costs attributable to potential work time lost to diabetes-related illnesses or premature death.
