The main data source is the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), with supplemental information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Estimates from these surveys are nationally representative of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population and are presented for adults age &#x02265;20 years with diabetes diagnosed at either age &#x0003c;20 years or age &#x02265;20 years, adults without diabetes, and when available, youth age &#x0003c;20 years with diabetes and people with undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes.</p><p>Overall, people with diabetes were older (76.3% were age &#x02265;50 years compared to 28.2% of people without diagnosed diabetes). In 2009&#x02013;2010, the current mean age was 46.3 years in people with diabetes diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years, 60.5 years in people with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, and 45.9 years in people without diabetes. More people with diabetes were male (51.2%) compared to people without diabetes (48.8%). The percentage of male adults among those diagnosed before and after age 20 years was similar (48.9% and 51.4%), and no significant sex differences existed among youth or adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years. Adults with diabetes were more frequently non-Hispanic black compared to adults without diabetes. Among those with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, 64.4% were non-Hispanic white, 15.8% non-Hispanic black, 14.8% Hispanic, 4.1% non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander, and 0.9% non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native, similar to adults age &#x02265;20 years with diabetes diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years. In adults without diabetes, the percentages were 69.6%, 11.4%, 13.6%, 4.8%, and 0.6%, respectively. Among adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, the mean age at diagnosis was 52.3 years in non-Hispanic white, 49.4 years in non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander, 47.4 years in non-Hispanic black, 47.3 years in Hispanic, and 46.1 in non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native adults. The mean duration of diabetes was longest for adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years. In 2006&#x02013;2010, 77.2% of adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years had diabetes for &#x02265;20 years compared to 14.6% of adults in 2009&#x02013;2010 with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years.</p><p>During 2009&#x02013;2010, 80.4% of adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years lived in metropolitan counties compared to 84.3% of adults without diabetes. A similar percentage of people with diagnosed diabetes (53%) and without diabetes (52%) lived in the top 10 most populous states; the rank order of states for the largest percentage of the U.S. population with diabetes was California, Texas, Florida, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia. Regionally, a slightly higher percentage lived in the Southern United States (46.1% of adults diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years, 38.7% of adults diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, and 35.3% of adults without diagnosed diabetes). In 2009&#x02013;2010, 83.2% of adults diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years and 83.0% of adults without diabetes were U.S. born, which was similar to the 2006&#x02013;2010 estimate of 85.9% for adults diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years. A higher percentage of persons who were age &#x0003c;20 years and had diabetes were U.S. born (96.8%). English was spoken in at least 93% of homes where people with diabetes lived. Over 9% of adults with diabetes in the United States were born in Mexico, Central American, or the Caribbean Islands. Among immigrants, adults with diabetes lived in the United States longer than adults without diagnosed diabetes. For example, 72.3% and 84.2% of adults with diabetes diagnosed before or after age 20 years, respectively, had lived in the United States at least 15 years compared to 58.5% of adults without diagnosed diabetes.</p><p>Marriage was more common among adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years compared to adults without diabetes or adults diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years (59.2%, 56.0%, and 48.9%), but a higher percentage of adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years lived alone compared to adults without diabetes (21.1% vs. 17.1%).</p><p>The level of attained education was lower in adults with diabetes compared to those without diabetes (e.g., 17.6% of adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, 18.6% of adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years, and 31.4% of adults without diabetes graduated with a bachelor&#x02019;s degree or higher). Among adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, fewer women (13.8%) graduated from college than men (21.2%) compared to women (30.4%) and men (32.5%) without diabetes. College graduation was reported by 40.3% of non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander, 20.1% of non-Hispanic white, 13.3% of non-Hispanic black, and 6.1% of Hispanic adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, which was lower than their respective groups without diabetes. Adults with diabetes had lower family income (54.3% diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years, 43.8% diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, and 32.4% without diagnosed diabetes made &#x0003c;$35,000 annually between 2007 and 2010). Likewise, more adults with diabetes had a Poverty Income Ratio (PIR) &#x0003c;2.00 (49.1%, 38.4%, and 30.7%, respectively). Nearly 25% of non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native adults lived below poverty (PIR &#x0003c;1.00) regardless of diabetes diagnosis. After considering family income within age and race/ethnicity groups, only adults age 45&#x02013;64 years with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years had lower incomes than similar age adults without diabetes.</p><p>In 2009&#x02013;2010, a lower percentage of adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years reported working in the previous 12 months (43.3%) compared to adults without diabetes (71.8%) or adults in 2006&#x02013;2010 with diabetes diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years (53.7%). Over 70% of each group were employed in the private sector, and adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years had the largest percentage working for the government (21.5%). Being retired was the main reason for not working among adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, adults without diabetes, and adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years (56.9%, 43.5%, and 38.7%, respectively); and being disabled was more frequently reported by adults in the diabetes groups (28.5%, 15.5%, and 37.2%, respectively). Men with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years were more often military veterans than men without diabetes (34.7% vs. 17.2%). Among adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years, 46.6% received Social Security or Railroad retirement benefits compared to 17.4% of adults without diabetes, and &#x0003e;7% of adults with diabetes received Supplemental Security Income usually due to a disability compared to 2.2% of adults without diabetes.</p></div><div id="ch8.s1"><h2 id="_ch8_s1_">Introduction</h2><p>Understanding sociodemographic characteristics of people with diabetes in the United States is important for health care planning, research, and other public health efforts. Examples of how these data are useful include: (1) knowing the income levels, educational attainment, and race characteristics could lead to designing culturally relevant nutrition and physical activity strategies at appropriate educational levels that are accessible at various income levels; (2) identifying employment patterns of population subgroups with diabetes may provide guidance to improve educational assistance or vocational training; or (3) estimating the future number of persons who may apply for Social Security disability benefits requires knowing the age distribution of people with diabetes, their current use of this benefit, the prevalence of diabetes (see <a href="/books/n/dia3ed/ch2/">Chapter 2</a>
<i>Prevalence and Incidence of Type 1 Diabetes Among Children and Adults in the United States and Comparison With Non-U.S. Countries</i> and <a href="/books/n/dia3ed/ch3/">Chapter 3</a>
<i>Prevalence and Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes and Prediabetes</i>), and diabetes mortality (see <a href="/books/n/dia3ed/ch35/">Chapter 35</a>
<i>Mortality in Type 1 Diabetes</i> and <a href="/books/n/dia3ed/ch36/">Chapter 36</a>
<i>Mortality Trends in Type 2 Diabetes</i>).</p><p>In <i>Diabetes in America</i>, <i>2nd edition</i>, the chapter on sociodemographic characteristics of people with diabetes presented estimates for people classified with either insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). An increased understanding of the etiology and progression of diabetes has made these terms obsolete (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref1">1</a>). Diabetes is now categorized largely as either type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref2">2</a>); however, information needed to adequately classify the type of diabetes was unavailable for this chapter, which is largely based on self-reported information. In the current chapter, people with diagnosed diabetes were classified by their reported age at diabetes diagnosis (i.e., age &#x0003c;20 years or age &#x02265;20 years). While those diagnosed age &#x0003c;20 years are more likely have type 1 diabetes, and those diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years are more likely to have type 2 diabetes, some overlap of the types of diabetes and age at diagnosis remains.</p></div><div id="ch8.s2"><h2 id="_ch8_s2_">Data Sources and Limitations</h2><p>The data in this chapter of <i>Diabetes in America, 3rd edition</i>, originate from new analyses of two continuous national health surveys conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Data from the National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS) 2006&#x02013;2010 provide most of the chapter&#x02019;s information for people with diagnosed diabetes, and data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2005&#x02013;2010 provide supplemental information for people with undiagnosed diabetes and people at high risk for diabetes (commonly called prediabetes). NHIS and NHANES are cross-sectional general health surveys with independent known probability samples that produce nationally representative estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population. Detailed descriptions of the survey methods and quality control procedures are available elsewhere (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref3">3</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref4">4</a>).</p><p>The demographic characteristics examined among the people with diagnosed diabetes in the NHIS and NHANES were similar. For example, the current age distribution (i.e., at the time of interview) for adults age &#x02265;20 years who had diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years was similar in the NHIS 2006&#x02013;2010 compared to the NHANES 2005&#x02013;2010 (13%&#x02013;14% in both surveys were age 20&#x02013;44 years; 46%&#x02013;48% were age 45&#x02013;64 years; and 39% in both surveys were age &#x02265;65 years). It is reassuring that the age distributions are similar in the two surveys for people with diagnosed diabetes, since age is strongly related to the age at onset of both major types of diabetes and the risk of diabetic complications, which are related to economic status (see <a href="/books/n/dia3ed/section2/">Section II</a>
<i>Complications of Diabetes and Related Conditions</i>).</p><p>The two surveys do not include people living in institutions or on active military duty; however, this excludes a very small percentage of adults with diagnosed diabetes. The National Nursing Home Survey 2004 found that approximately 340,000 nursing home residents age &#x02265;65 years had diabetes (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref5">5</a>), which represents approximately 2% of people with diagnosed diabetes in the United States according to the CDC&#x02019;s reported prevalence of diabetes. In 2010, &#x0003c;14% of the approximately 1.4 million persons on active military duty were receiving care for diabetes in the military medical care system (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref6">6</a>).</p><p>In this chapter, the following statistical methods and definitions were used. Since NHIS and NHANES use complex survey designs with oversampling of some population subgroups to improve survey reliability, all estimates were weighted, except sample sizes. Standard errors were estimated using SUDAAN (Release 11.0.0) (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref7">7</a>). Mean differences were tested with t-tests, and p&#x0003c;0.05 was considered statistically significant. Percent estimates were considered significantly different if 95% confidence intervals prepared with weighted standard errors did not overlap. This method was used due to the large number of comparisons and to allow readers to make their own comparisons of estimates. Only statistically significant differences are mentioned in the text (that is based on non-overlapping 95% confidence intervals or t-tests), unless otherwise noted. No age-standardization or other adjustments were made to the data. Unless noted otherwise, age in the figures and appendices refers to age at interview. All diabetes estimates from the NHIS refer to people with diagnosed diabetes and from here forward will simply be specified as diabetes. Unless stated otherwise, adults refer to persons age &#x02265;20 years and youth refers to persons age &#x0003c;20 years at the time of the survey. Relative standard errors are noted in the figures and appendices if estimates had limited statistical reliability due to small sample sizes. Estimates with relative standard errors &#x0003e;30%&#x02013;50% should be considered with caution, and those with a relative standard error &#x0003e;50% are not presented. The number of persons with diabetes in the United States by age was based on the NHIS age distribution for persons with diabetes and the number of persons with diagnosed diabetes based on NHIS 2010 estimates.</p><div id="ch8.s2.1"><h3>National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)</h3><p>The NHIS is a household-based interview survey that collects responses in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. For this analysis, multiple years of data were combined to obtain more statistically reliable estimates for the various diabetes categories (see the next paragraph for further details). Between 2006 and 2010, NHIS provided data for approximately 74,000&#x02013;90,000 interviewed persons annually (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref3">3</a>). The final annual NHIS response rates among adults during 2005&#x02013;2010 were &#x02265;60.8% for adults and &#x02265;70.7% for youth. Since the NHIS is an interview survey, it is only able to distinguish people with diagnosed diabetes from people without diagnosed diabetes. To identify people with diabetes, NHIS asked respondents (or rarely a family proxy), &#x0201c;(Other than during pregnancy for females), Have you EVER been told by a doctor or other health professional that you have diabetes or sugar diabetes?&#x0201d; If the response was &#x0201c;Yes,&#x0201d; the person was classified to have diagnosed diabetes. Persons responding &#x0201c;No&#x0201d; or &#x0201c;Borderline&#x0201d; were classified not to have diagnosed diabetes. People who reported a diabetes diagnosis were then asked &#x0201c;How old were you when a doctor or other health professional first told you that you had diabetes or sugar diabetes?&#x0201d; This was used to identify the age at diagnosis. Since diabetes was only based on interview information, some persons were classified not to have diabetes but, in fact, did have undiagnosed diabetes. Other research has found that approximately 28% of persons with diabetes have undiagnosed diabetes (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref8">8</a>).</p><p>The main focus of this chapter is on adults with diabetes diagnosed at age &#x02265;20 years. To produce stable estimates for people with diagnosed diabetes, multiple years of data were combined. For adults with diabetes diagnosed at age &#x02265;20 years, 2009 and 2010 data were combined. For people with diabetes diagnosed at age &#x0003c;20 years, more years of data were combined (generally 2006&#x02013;2010) to increase the analytic sample size. Where possible, results were presented for youth (age &#x0003c;20 years) with diabetes. In 2009&#x02013;2010, only 35 adults age &#x02265;20 years (0.05%) and, in 2006&#x02013;2010, only 30 youth age &#x0003c;20 years (0.05%) had missing data and could not be classified for diagnosed diabetes. Additional information on the NHIS is available (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref3">3</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref9">9</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref10">10</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref11">11</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref12">12</a>). The final person sample weight was used for the NHIS estimates.</p></div><div id="ch8.s2.2"><h3>National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)</h3><p>The NHANES is an interview and examination survey of approximately 5,000 people in 15 locations per year in the United States. In-home interviews are followed by physical examinations and laboratory tests in Mobile Examination Centers. Persons are selected in households based on a complex survey design. The response rates were &#x02265;70% for all years of NHANES data used in this analysis (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref13">13</a>). Data were released in 2-year cycles. For the new analyses in this chapter, data collected from 2005 to 2010 were combined.</p><p>With the combined interview and examination components of the NHANES, it was possible to classify people as having diagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes, prediabetes, and no diabetes.</p><p>The interview data were used to identify people with diagnosed diabetes. If a person answered &#x0201c;Yes&#x0201d; to the question &#x0201c;(Other than during pregnancy, if female)&#x02026;Have you ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that you have diabetes or sugar diabetes?,&#x0201d; then they were considered to have diagnosed diabetes. All others were classified not to have diagnosed diabetes. To identify undiagnosed diabetes, two definitions were used. Participants who did not have diagnosed diabetes and (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref1">1</a>) had glycosylated hemoglobin (A1c) &#x02265;6.5% (&#x02265;48 mmol/mol) or (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref2">2</a>) were randomly assigned to the morning sample, fasted 8&#x02013;&#x0003c;24 hours, and had fasting plasma glucose (FPG) &#x02265;126 mg/dL (&#x02265;6.99 mmol/L) were classified to have undiagnosed diabetes; this is considered the clinical definition because these measures are more likely to be used in the medical community due to ease of use for physicians and patients and potentially lower cost. In addition, those who satisfied the clinical definition for diabetes or who had 2-hour plasma glucose &#x02265;200 mg/dL (&#x02265;11.10 mmol/L) after a 75 gram oral glucose challenge (i.e., an oral glucose tolerance test [OGTT]) were classified to have undiagnosed diabetes; this is referred to as the research definition because the added 2-hour OGTT is less likely to be used in the medical community. People were considered to have prediabetes among those without diagnosed or clinically defined undiagnosed diabetes if their FPG was 100&#x02013;125 mg/dL (5.55&#x02013;6.94 mmol/L) or their A1c was 5.7%&#x02013;6.4% (39&#x02013;46 mmol/mol). Those with A1c &#x0003c;5.7% and FPG &#x0003c;100 mg/dL were classified as having no diabetes. In 2005&#x02013;2010, 6.1% could not be classified using the clinical definition, and 13.7% could not be classified using the research definition. NHANES-recommended glucose corrections were used (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch8.ref14">14</a>). Sample weighted estimates included home interview weights for diagnosed diabetes; Mobile Examination Center examination weights for undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes identified by A1c; and fasting or OGTT weights for no diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes, or prediabetes identified by FPG or OGTT, respectively, which maximizes the use of survey information and sample sizes.</p></div></div><div id="ch8.s3"><h2 id="_ch8_s3_">Demographic Characteristics</h2><div id="ch8.s3.1"><h3>Age Distribution</h3><p>The age distribution of people with diagnosed diabetes (mean age 59.3 years) was older than people without diagnosed diabetes (mean age 35.3 years) (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK567995/figure/ch8.fig1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch8fig1" rid-ob="figobch8fig1">Figure 8.1</a>).

Among adults age &#x0003c;65 years, a higher percentage of adults with diabetes received these benefits for disability compared to similar age adults without diabetes. A larger percentage of non-Hispanic white adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years received Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits compared with adults with diabetes in the other race/Hispanic groups.

The lower percentage of WIC recipients among adults with diabetes diagnosed age &#x02265;20 years compared to adults without diabetes was observed for non-Hispanic white adults and Hispanic adults, which were the only groups with statistically reliable estimates.
