adults in the US could have diabetes 2050 if current trends continue, according to a new
by 2050? analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
- One in 10 U.S. adults had diabetes[in 2010.] The
prevalence is expected to rise sharply over the next
40 years due to an aging population more likely to
develop type 2 diabetes, increases in minority groups
that are at high risk for type 2 diabetes, and people
with diabetes living longer, according to CDC
projections published in the journal Population
Health Metrics. Because the study factored in aging,
minority populations and lifespan, the projections are
higher than previous estimates.
- The report predicts that the number of new
diabetes cases each year will increase from 8 per
1,000 people in 2008, to 15 per 1,000 in 2050.
