ORIGINAL RESEARCH — Volume 20 — August 10, 2023
PEER REVIEWED
Figure shows a Forest plot of prevalences and corresponding 95% CIs for depression prevalence among adults by diabetes status and sociodemographic characteristics. Depression prevalence is consistently higher among adults with diabetes compared with those without diabetes in all age groups, by sex, by race and ethnicity, by education, by annual household income, and by insurance status.
Figure 1.
Age-adjusted prevalence of depression among US adults aged ≥18 years by diabetes status and sociodemographic characteristic, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2019. From 2-sample ttests, difference in prevalence by diabetes status is significant at P≤ .01. Abbreviation: NH = non-Hispanic.
The figure shows age-adjusted prevalence of depression for each year as well as trend lines over time for adults with and without diabetes, from 2010 to 2019. Trends in prevalence are stable for adults with diabetes. For adults without diabetes, a slight increase is seen over the study period.

Age-adjusted depression prevalence by diabetes status, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2011–2019. Error bars indicate 95% CIs.
Age-adjusted depression prevalence over the study period is shown for each state, with the trend lines of 2 states showing a significant increase in trends (Illinois and Kansas) and 4 states showing a significant decrease in trends (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, and Washington).
