Description:Objective:
To assess the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among employed U.S. adults from 36 states by occupation group using data from 2014–2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Methods:
Prevalence of diabetes was calculated by 22 broad and 93 detailed occupation groups among a sample of 366,633 employed respondents. Wald chi-square values were used to determine the significance of associations between diabetes and occupation groups after adjusting for sex, age, and race/ethnicity.
Results:
The prevalence of diabetes was 6.4% among employed U.S. adults. The three broad occupation groups with the highest adjusted prevalence of diabetes were protective services (8.9%), farming, fishing, and forestry (8.8%), and community and social services (8.4%).
Conclusions:
Prevalence of diabetes differed by occupation. Work-related factors (e.g. shift work, job stress) should be further examined in relation to risk of developing diabetes.
