Estimates are considered unreliable. Data preceded by an asterisk have a relative standard error (RSE) of 20%–30%. Data not shown have an RSE of greater than 30%.
Physician-diagnosed diabetes was obtained by self-report and excludes women who reported having diabetes only during pregnancy.
Undiagnosed diabetes is defined as a fasting blood glucose (FBG) of at
least 126 mg/dL and no reported physician diagnosis. Respondents had
fasted for at least 8 hours and less than 24 hours. Estimates in some
prior editions of Health, United States included data
from respondents who had fasted for at least 9 hours and less than 24
hours. In 2005–2006, FBG testing was performed at a different laboratory
and using a different instrument than testing in earlier years. NHANES
conducted a crossover study to evaluate the impact of these changes on
FBG measurements. As a result of that study, NHANES recommended that
2005–2006 data on FBG measurements be adjusted to be compatible with
earlier years. Undiagnosed diabetes estimates in Health, United
States were produced after adjusting the 2005–2006 FBG data
as recommended. For more information, see http://www
Persons of Mexican origin may be of any race. Starting with 1999 data, race-specific estimates are tabulated according to the 1997 Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity and are not strictly comparable with estimates for earlier years. The two non-Hispanic race categories shown in the table conform to the 1997 Standards. Starting with 1999 data, race-specific estimates are for persons who reported only one racial group. Prior to data year 1999, estimates were tabulated according to the 1977 Standards. Estimates for single-race categories prior to 1999 included persons who reported one race or, if they reported more than one race, identified one race as best representing their race. See Appendix II, Hispanic origin; Race.
Estimates are age-adjusted to the year 2000 standard population using three age groups: 20–39 years, 40–59 years, and 60 years and over. Age-adjusted estimates in this table may differ from other age-adjusted estimates based on the same data and presented elsewhere if different age groups are used in the adjustment procedure. See Appendix II, Age adjustment.
Includes all other races and Hispanic origins not shown separately.
