Near-term outlook
Diabetes prevalence is classified High concern at 17.9%, observed through 2022-12-31. That observation is about 3.8 years old. It is older than this source's publication cadence supports (one observation per reference year, published about a year after the year ends), so this is the latest published reading, not a current one.

Methodology and validation
The assessment compares the latest source observation with BDPolicyLab analytical monitoring bands. For this detector, higher readings indicate greater stress; the internal analytical cutoffs are 8.0%, 12.0%, 16.0%, 20.0%. The score is a level-anchored piecewise-linear transformation with state bands at 20, 40, 60, and 85. The indicator's primary source is identified with the evidence in this card. Forecast ranges are published only as calibrated 80% predictive intervals with an explicit source time unit.
