Some Diabetes Statistics To Consider

Article Category: Medical Business

Author Name: Kenn Fong

When you study diabetes statistics, they present an interesting picture of the growth of this major disease, especially in the western world. The number of people who have diabetes is enormous. It is significant that the rate of the disease growth is accelerating.

Looking at statistics for diabetes in the United States alone shows that nearly eight percent of the population in 2007 had the disease. Diagnosed cases included 18 million individuals just in the U. S. And and additional 6 million people who are undiagnosed. Almost 60 million more people are noted as being in a pre-diabetic state. These are people who are likely to move into diagnosed diabetes unless drastic measures in diet and lifestyle are made.

Looking at these statistics a little more closely by age group, you will see that for children under age 20, a group of four to six hundred children will include at least one who has juvenile or Type 1 diabetes. Teenagers who are overweight during the adolescent years have a rate of pre-diabetes of one in six. The Type 2 form of the disease is appearing at a younger and younger age.

The diabetic rate for adults age twenty to sixty is almost eleven percent. Amongst those age sixty and older, diabetic cases reach a level of more than twenty-three percent. Overall cases of diabetes in men is slightly higher than in women. The rate for diabetes cases in blacks and Hispanics is nearly twice as high as that of whites and Asian races.

In the U. S., diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death. It is a contributing cause of death, rather than being a cause in itself. For example, heart disease patient deaths with diabetes are between two and four times as high. The same is true of stroke patients who die. They are two to four times as likely to have had diabetes.

High blood pressure is another factor linked to diabetes. Diabetes is the major cause of new cases of blindness in adults. Diabetes is the most significant cause for kidney failure. Nervous system damage at some level is found in almost 75 percent of diabetic patients. Sixty percent of amputations of legs or feet, when not due to trauma, is caused by diabetes.

The financial impact of diabetes is enormous. The average medical cost for individuals with diabetes is nearly 2.5 times higher than in individuals who do not have the disease. In the United States in 2007, diagnosed diabetes costs were $174 billion. If you add the diabetes statistics and costs of pre-diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes and gestational diabetes, the annual cost for the same period was $218 billion.
