STUDY OBJECTIVE
• To estimate the prevalence of diabetes in U.S. youth aged <20 years in 2009 and to estimate the total number of youth with diabetes in the U.S. by age, race/ethnicity, and diabetes type
Pettitt D. J. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:402-408
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS
• The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study identified youth aged <20 years on 31 December 2009 with physician-diagnosed diabetes
• Youth were in selected areas of Colorado, Ohio, South Carolina, and Washington; among health plan members of Kaiser Permanente Southern California; and among American Indians living on reservations in Arizona and New Mexico
• Diabetes was classified as type 1, type 2, or other
• Race/ethnicity was by self-report
Pettitt D. J. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:402-408
RESULTS
• From a population of 3,458,974 youth aged <20 years, 7,695 youth with diabetes were identified:
• 6,668 with type 1 diabetes• 837 with type 2 diabetes• 190 with other diabetes types
• Prevalence increased with age, was slightly higher in females, and was most prevalent in non-Hispanic white and least prevalent in Asian/Pacific Islanders
Pettitt D. J. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:402-408
RESULTS
• Native American and black youth had the highest prevalence of type 2 diabetes
• An estimated 191,986 U.S. youth aged <20 years have diabetes:
• 166,984 type 1 diabetes• 20,262 type 2 diabetes• 4,740 other types
Pettitt D. J. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:402-408
