Short Abstract:
Diabetes Mellitus is the most frequently identified health problem in the Aberdeen Area IHS/Tribal budget formulation consultations for FY 2009-10, and has been among the top five health priorities for budget formulations for the past ten years. Type II diabetes occurs at dramatically higher rates in American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) than in the general U.S. population. The prevalence of Diabetes in the Active User Population of the Aberdeen Area increased by 3.5% (6114 patients) over the baseline GPRA Year 2000 based on data extracted via the Clinical Reporting System (CRS). Among all age groups, the highest increase in diabetes prevalence has occurred among AI/AN adolescents aged 1519 years, with a 106% increase from 1990 to 2001. (Interim Report to Congress, Special Diabetes Program For Indians, IHS National Diabetes Program, December 2004).
