Show Diabetes Mellitus (ICD-9Code: 250) (1995 Total Deaths in Utah =415) After a decline in the 1970s, mortality rates due to diabetes mellitus began to rise in both Utah and the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. However, the United States' rate of increase is slowing while Utah's rate increased dramatically to reach a 15 year high in 1995. The higher rate in Utah may be explained in part by genetics, exercise patterns or eating habits. It should be noted that a change in death certificate procedures in 1989 may have substantially contributed to the reported increase. Table 42. Diabetes Mortality by Sex in Utah* Table 43.
