Trends in diverticular disease mortality among United States adults (1999–2020) by gender, race, and geographic region
Although the annual mortality of diverticular disease has decreased since 1999, there are certain demographic and regional disparities, with mortality rates higher in women, NH White and NH Black adults, Western regions, and nonmetropolitan areas. Further research is needed to identify factors responsible for these disparities and plan appropriate interventions.
