Objective: To examine the prevalence and correlates of visual impairment (VI) among US adults with and without diabetes mellitus.Methods: Using National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys conducted during 1999-2004, we estimated the prevalence of presenting (correctable or uncorrectable), correctable, and uncorrectable VI among Americans 20),cars or older with and without diabetes. Data were weighted to make estimates representative of the US civilian non institutionalized population. We used multivariate logistic regression to calculate odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals.Results: Approximately 11.0% of US adults with diabetes had some form of VI (3.8% uncorrectable and 7.2% Correctable). Among those without diabetes, 5.9%) had some form of VI (1.4% uncorrectable and 4.5% correctable). People with diabetes were more likely to have uncorrectable VI than those Without diabetes, even after controlling for selected other factors (P
