Temporal and regional trends in adults with diabetics kidney disease in the US from 1999 to 2020
Authors' conclusion
This study reveals notable disparities in DKD mortality rates across demographic groups and geographic regions. NH American Indians or Alaska Natives, males, elderly individuals, rural residents, and those in the West region were disproportionately affected. Understanding these trends is crucial for developing targeted interventions to reduce DKD-related mortality and address healthcare disparities.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
DKD mortality trends
- Mortality rates increased over time
- Males consistently had higher AAMR than females
- Highest AAMR in NH American Indian or Alaska Native, followed by NH Blacks, Hispanics, NH Whites and NH Asians
- Highest AAMR in the West, followed by Midwest, South and Northeast
- Rural regions had higher AAMR than urban areas
- Mortality rates increased with age
Observational data: associations, not effects.
