Abstract:
To assess the prevalence of, and quality of care for, diabetes mellitus among the understudied, yet growing, population of older, urban American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs).
Conclusions: The prevalence rate of diabetes among this urban clinic population of older AI/ ANs was high. Although performance of quality indicators was suboptimal, it was comparable to, or better than, that found in other older populations for many measures. (Ethn Dis. 2004;14:574±579)
