Figure 1. Changes in Spending and Annualized Percent Changes for the 10 Health Conditions With the Largest Absolute Spending Increases, 1996-2013.

Spending amounts are reported and annualized percent changes in spending calculated using inflation-adjusted 2015 dollars. Values in parentheses indicate uncertainty intervals. Other neurologic disease actually had the fifth-largest increase in health care spending but was omitted from Figures 1 and 2 because it is a composite category made up of disparate neurologic diseases not included in the 6 other categories tracking spending on other neurologic diseases. Gray cell indicates values could not be calculated for that condition in that age group (no prevalence data).

^aSpending on treatment of this risk factor, rather than spending on diseases this risk factor causes.
