TI  - A Retrospective, Epidemiological Review of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Military 
      Population.
PG  - 17-22
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Examine incidence rates of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in a 
      military population over a tenyear period and whether demographic characteristics 
      differ within the same population. METHODS: Diagnostic data and demographic 
      variables from 23,821 active duty service members between 2006 and 2015 were 
      analyzed from the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database. RESULTS: The 
      incidence rates of new onset cases ranged from .22 (per 1,000 service members) in 
      2015 to a high of 1.46 (per 1,000 service members) in 2006 for T2DM without 
      complications and .00 (per 1,000 service members) in 2007 to a high of .29 (per 
      1,000 service members) in 2015 for T2DM with complications. The one-sample 
      chi-square test showed the observed, and expected frequencies differed 
      significantly for all demographic variables tested. CONCLUSIONS: Although there 
      was a significant increase in the diagnosis of T2DM with complications in 2015, 
      the overall downtrend is similar to that of the general US population. Older age 
      and higher rank were more likely to be associated with the diagnosis of T2DM with 
      and without complications, again suggestive of similar trends with the general US 
      population. Continued efforts towards early diagnosis and treatment of these 
      service members are needed to address this problem regarding military readiness.
