Rural–Urban Disparities in State-Level Diabetes Prevalence Among US Adults, 2021
Our findings reveal significant geographic disparities in diabetes prevalence between rural and urban areas in 19 states. The differences in most states may have been explained by rural-urban differences in sociodemographic characteristics and obesity rates. Our findings could inform decision makers to identify effective ways to reduce rural-urban disparities within states.
