Adults with Diagnosed Hypertension and Diabetes (Prevalence)¹

• In 2006/07, 5.1% of Canadians (about 1 million) aged 20 years and older were living with both diabetes and hypertension diagnosed by a physician.
• 22.7% of adults with diagnosed hypertension also had diabetes in 2006/07.
• Adults with diagnosed hypertension were diagnosed with diabetes 6 times more often than those without hypertension.
• 62.8% of adults with diagnosed diabetes also had diagnosed hypertension in 2006/07.
• Adults with diagnosed diabetes were diagnosed with hypertension 3 times more often than those without diabetes.
• There was a relative increase of 31.2% in the age-standardized prevalence rates of diagnosed diabetes among adults with diagnosed hypertension from 10.9% in 2000/01 to 14.3% in 2006/07, with a similar increase in both men and women (Figure 12). This is consistent with the increase in the prevalence of diabetes seen in the whole population.
