 Amputations
AmputationsMore than 60% of nontraumatic lower-limb amputations occur in people with diabetes.
In 2002, about 82,000 nontraumatic lower-limb amputations were performed in people with diabetes.
The rate of amputation for people with diabetes is 10 times higher than for people without diabetes.
Mexican Americans are 1.8 times as likely, non-Hispanic Blacks are 2.7 times as likely, and American Indians are 3 to 4 times as likely to suffer from lower-limb amputations.
Amputation rates are 1.4 to 2.7 times higher in men than women with diabetes. |
