Telemedicine Use Among Adults With and Without Diagnosed Prediabetes or Diabetes, National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2021 and 2022.

We analyzed 2021 and 2022 National Health Interview Survey data to describe the prevalence of past 12-month telemedicine use among US adults with no prediabetes or diabetes diagnosis, diagnosed prediabetes, and diagnosed diabetes. In 2021 and 2022, telemedicine use prevalence was 34.1% and 28.

Prevalence of Self-Reported Diagnosed Diabetes Among Adults, by County Metropolitan Status and Region, United States, 2019-2022.

Introduction: Previous research suggests that rural-urban disparities in diabetes mortality, hospitalization, and incidence rates may manifest differently across US regions. However, no studies have examined disparities in diabetes prevalence by metropolitan residence and region.

Methods: We used data from the 2019-2022 National Health Interview Survey to compare diabetes status, socioeconomic characteristics, and weight status among adults in each census region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West) according to county metropolitan status of residence (large central metro, large fringe metro, small/medium metro, and nonmetro).

Homelessness and Risk of End-Stage Kidney Disease and Death in Veterans With Chronic Kidney Disease.

Importance: Adults experiencing homelessness in the US face numerous challenges, including the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The extent of a potentially greater risk of adverse health outcomes in the population with CKD experiencing homelessness has not been adequately explored.

Objective: To evaluate the association between a history of homelessness and the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and death among veterans with incident CKD.

Urban-Rural Differences in Acute Kidney Injury Mortality in the United States.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased mortality. AKI-related mortality trends by U.S.

Impact of Race-Free Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimations on CKD Prevalence in the US Military Health System: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Rationale & Objective: The 2021 CKD-EPI removes Black race as a factor in calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We assessed its effect on CKD prevalence in the demographically-diverse US Military Health System.

Study Design: A retrospective calculation of the eGFR from serum creatinine measured over 2016-2019 using both the 2009 and 2021 CKD-EPI equations.

Aim: This study assessed changes in testing for blood glucose in the United States (US) from 2019 to 2021.

Methods: We conducted a serial cross-sectional analysis of the 2019-2021 National Health Interview Survey by including adults aged ≥ 18 years without reported diagnosed diabetes. We estimated the prevalence of testing for blood glucose within 12 months and the difference in the testing prevalence between 2019 and 2021.

Preventive Service Usage and New Chronic Disease Diagnoses: Using PCORnet Data to Identify Emerging Trends, United States, 2018-2022.

Background: Data modernization efforts to strengthen surveillance capacity could help assess trends in use of preventive services and diagnoses of new chronic disease during the COVID-19 pandemic, which broadly disrupted health care access.

Methods: This cross-sectional study examined electronic health record data from US adults aged 21 to 79 years in a large national research network (PCORnet), to describe use of 8 preventive health services (N = 30,783,825 patients) and new diagnoses of 9 chronic diseases (N = 31,588,222 patients) during 2018 through 2022. Joinpoint regression assessed significant trends, and health debt was calculated comparing 2020 through 2022 volume to prepandemic (2018 and 2019) levels.

Physical Activity According to Diabetes and Metropolitan Status, U.S., 2020 and 2022.

Introduction: Physical activity can reduce morbidity and mortality among adults with diabetes. Although rural disparities in physical activity exist among the general population, it is not known how these disparities manifest among adults with diabetes.

Methods: Data from the 2020 and 2022 National Health Interview Survey were analyzed in 2023 to assess the prevalence of meeting aerobic and muscle-strengthening recommendations according to the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans during leisure time.

Prevalence of Cardiometabolic Diseases Among Racial and Ethnic Subgroups in Adults - Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, United States, 2013-2021.

Although diabetes and cardiovascular disease account for substantial disease prevalence among adults in the United States, their prevalence among racial and ethnic subgroups is inadequately characterized. To fill this gap, CDC described the prevalence of diagnosed cardiometabolic diseases among U.S.

Prevalence of Testing for Diabetes Among US Adults With Overweight or Obesity, 2016-2019.

Introduction: Screening for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes may allow earlier detection, diagnosis, and treatment. The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening every 3 years for abnormal blood glucose among adults aged 40 to 70 years with overweight or obesity. Using IQVIA Ambulatory Electronic Medical Records, we estimated the proportion of adults aged 40 to 70 years with overweight or obesity who received blood glucose testing within 3 years from baseline in 2016.

Risk Factors Amenable to Primary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Among Disaggregated Racial and Ethnic Subgroups in the U.S.

Objective: Race and ethnicity data disaggregated into detailed subgroups may reveal pronounced heterogeneity in diabetes risk factors. We therefore used disaggregated data to examine the prevalence of type 2 diabetes risk factors related to lifestyle behaviors and barriers to preventive care among adults in the U.S.

Assessing the association between food environment and dietary inflammation by community type: a cross-sectional REGARDS study.

Background: Communities in the United States (US) exist on a continuum of urbanicity, which may inform how individuals interact with their food environment, and thus modify the relationship between food access and dietary behaviors.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aims to examine the modifying effect of community type in the association between the relative availability of food outlets and dietary inflammation across the US.

Methods: Using baseline data from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study (2003-2007), we calculated participants' dietary inflammation score (DIS).

State-Specific Prevalence of Depression Among Adults With and Without Diabetes - United States, 2011-2019.

Introduction: In 2019 among US adults, 1 in 9 had diagnosed diabetes and 1 in 5 had diagnosed depression. Since these conditions frequently coexist, compounding their health and economic burden, we examined state-specific trends in depression prevalence among US adults with and without diagnosed diabetes.

Methods: We used data from the 2011 through 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to evaluate self-reported diabetes and depression prevalence.

Role of Anemia in Dementia Risk Among Veterans With Incident CKD.

Rationale & Objective: Although some evidence exists of increased dementia risk from anemia, it is unclear whether this association persists among adults with CKD. Anemia may be a key marker for dementia among adults with CKD, so we evaluated whether anemia is associated with an increased risk of dementia among adults with CKD.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Risk of Cardiovascular Disease After COVID-19 Diagnosis Among Adults With and Without Diabetes.

Background Growing evidence suggests incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) may be a long-term outcome of COVID-19 infection, and chronic diseases, such as diabetes, may influence CVD risk associated with COVID-19. We evaluated the postacute risk of CVD >30 days after a COVID-19 diagnosis by diabetes status. Methods and Results We included adults ≥20 years old with a COVID-19 diagnosis from March 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021 in a retrospective cohort study from the IQVIA PharMetrics Plus insurance claims database.

Prevalence of anemia and associated All-Cause mortality among adults with Diabetes: The role of chronic kidney disease.

Aims: Among adults with diabetes in the United States, we evaluated anemia prevalence by CKD status as well as the role of CKD and anemia, as potential risk factors for all-cause mortality.

Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, we included 6,718 adult participants with prevalent diabetes from the 2003-March 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative sample of the non-institutionalized civilian population in the United States. Cox regression models evaluated the role of anemia and CKD, alone or combined, as predictors of all-cause mortality.

Age-Related Association between Multimorbidity and Mortality in US Veterans with Incident Chronic Kidney Disease.

Introduction: Mortality is an important long-term indicator of the public health impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We investigated the role of individual comorbidities and multimorbidity on age-specific mortality risk among US veterans with new-onset CKD.

Methods: The cohort included 892,005 veterans aged ≥18 years with incident CKD stage 3 between January 2004 and April 2018 in the US Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system and followed until death, December 2018, or up to 10 years.

Trends in lifetime risk and years of potential life lost from diabetes in the United States, 1997-2018.

Background: Both incidence and mortality of diagnosed diabetes have decreased over the past decade. However, the impact of these changes on key metrics of diabetes burden-lifetime risk (LR), years of potential life lost (YPLL), and years spent with diabetes-is unknown.

Methods: We used data from 653,811 adults aged ≥18 years from the National Health Interview Survey, a cross-sectional sample of the civilian non-institutionalized population in the United States.
