Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity Among Adults With Diagnosed Diabetes—United States, 1988-1994 and 1999-2002
Abstract
Obesity in persons with diabetes is associated with poorer control of blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol, placing persons with diabetes at higher risk for both cardiovascular and microvascular disease. Conversely, intentional weight loss is associated with reduced mortality among overweight persons with diabetes. CDC analyzed the prevalence of overweight and obesity among U.S. adults aged >/=20 years with previously diagnosed diabetes by using data from two surveys: the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), 1988-1994, and NHANES 1999-2002. This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that most adults with diagnosed diabetes were overweight or obese. During 1999-2002, the prevalence of overweight or obesity was 85.2%, and the prevalence of obesity was 54.8%. Encouraging patients to achieve and maintain a healthy weight should be a priority for all diabetes-care programs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
