An observational cohort analysis was conducted within the Surveillance, Prevention, and Management of Diabetes Mellitus (SUPREME-DM) DataLink, a consortium 11 integrated health-care delivery systems with electronic health records in 10 US states. Among nearly 7 million adults aged 20 years or older, we estimated annual diabetes incidence per 1,000 persons overall by age, sex, race/ethnicity, body mass index. We identified 289,050 incident cases diabetes. Age- sex-adjusted population stable...

To improve care and control for patients with adult-onset asthma, a better understanding of determinants their risk outcomes is important. We investigated how associations between asthma obesity may be modified by patient demographic characteristics. This retrospective study adults enrolled in several health plans across the U.S. (n = 2,860,305) examined interacting effects obesity, age, race, sex on control. Multivariable adjusted Cox logistic regression models estimated hazard ratios (HR),...
