Diabetes mortality statistics and health-related quality of life metrics for U.S. states include the number of deaths, death rates, years of potential life lost, and quality-adjusted life years for individuals aged 15 and older. The dataset is compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) using multiple data sources, including the CDC WONDER Online Database and national health surveys. The data was last updated in February 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in diabetes mortality rates (Data Value) by state (Location) and year (Year).
- Compare years of potential life lost (Data Type Label) across different demographic stratifications (Stratification Group 1, Stratification Group 2).
- Model the relationship between quality-adjusted life years (Data Type Label) and geographic location using the FIPS and Geolocation columns.
- Assess disparities in diabetes burden by examining data stratified by groups such as age or race (Stratification 1, Stratification 2).
Strengths
- Includes multiple burden metrics: death counts, rates, years of potential life lost, and quality-adjusted life years.
- Data is stratified by demographic groups (Stratification Group 1, Stratification Group 2) for detailed analysis.
- Sourced from authoritative public health entities including the CDC and NCHS.
