Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar. According to a new study in the United States, diabetes is the "most expensive" disease in the United States, and the personal medical expenses of the American people in this chronic disease outweigh the diseases of heart disease and low back pain.

The study, published in the new issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, analyzes the personal health care expenditures of Americans on 155 diseases between 1996 and 2013. The results show that Americans spent about $30.1 trillion on medical treatment during the 18 years, including $2.4 trillion in 2013.

Among the 155 diseases, Americans spend the most on diabetes. In 2013, the cost of related diagnosis and treatment was about 101.4 billion US dollars. Heart disease is the number one disease that causes American death, but the related expenses rank second after diabetes. Expenditure in 2013 was approximately $88.1 billion. From 1996 to 2013, the cost of diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in the United States increased by 36 times faster than heart disease.

Diabetes and heart disease mainly affect the elderly over 65 years old, while the third-ranked low back pain and neck pain mainly affect the working-age adults. In 2013, the expenditure was about 87.6 billion US dollars, only a little less than heart disease.

In general, diabetes, heart disease, low back pain, plus high blood pressure, falls, depression, oral diseases, hearing loss, skin diseases, etc., a total of 20 diseases accounted for the total expenditure of the United States personal health care more than half.

Joseph Dillerman, research director and assistant professor of the Institute of Health Statistics Assessment at the University of Washington, said in a statement that the United States has more health care spending than any other country, but it has been unclear about what the disease is causing. I hope this research will help decision makers in the US public and private sectors to understand the state of disease spending and plan and allocate health resources more effectively.
