Geographic and Temporal Trends in Adult Diabetes Prevalence, United States, 2011-2021.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Diabetes is a leading cause of various adverse health outcomes, and its prevalence has risen substantially in the United States in recent decades. While the prevalence of diabetes has stabilized in recent years, geographic disparities remain, particularly in the South.
