Guam’s healthcare spending per capita and as a % of GDP is quite low compared to U.S. and World averages – pointing to room for further growth.

Guam’s population growth rate is higher than that of the U.S. and the World average. Guam’s median age exceeds World averages and is rising geometrically. Guam authorities project Population CAGR at 1.18% from 2010 to 2020. The number of persons over 65 is expected to approach 10% of the total population by 2030, from 7% today.
Guam’s disease burden is more severe than U.S. averages. Diabetes, heart disease and cancer are particular areas of concern. Cancer Incidences and Mortality* Top leading causes of death (2007) Guam* U.S. 100% 73% *Age-adjusted incidences/deaths per 100,000. The age-adjusted rates are rates that would have existed if the population under study had been distributed by age the same way as in the US population. Diabetes incidences • As of 2009, at least 40,000 people on Guam have diabetes (close to 25% of the population) Incidence Mortality • In the United States, only 8% of the population have diabetes (less than one in ten) • Poor oncology services on Guam may be a factor for the significant increase in mortality rates, even as incidence rates remained steady.
