Abstract

This study analyzes U.S. diabetes mortality trends from 1968 to 2019 using CDC WONDER data. It reveals fluctuating age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs), with a decline halted between 2010-2019. Males saw rising AAMRs, while females experienced a decline. Racial disparities were evident, with higher AAMRs in the Black population.
