Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Type 2 diabetes significantly increases mortality risk, with cardiovascular diseases being the primary cause of death. This excess risk persists even after accounting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Background:

Type 2 diabetes is a growing global health concern.
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality worldwide.
Understanding diabetes-related mortality is crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate mortality rates in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
To identify the primary causes of death in this population.
To assess the excess mortality risk associated with type 2 diabetes compared to non-diabetics.

Main Methods:

A prospective population study involving 504 individuals with type 2 diabetes aged 40 years and over.
Average follow-up period of nine years.

Analysis of causes of death and adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors.

Main Results:

241 deaths occurred during the follow-up period.
Cardiovascular diseases constituted 70% of all deaths.
Age-adjusted mortality risk was 2-3 times higher in type 2 diabetics than non-diabetics.
Excess mortality risk remained significant after adjusting for conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

Conclusions:

Type 2 diabetes is associated with substantially increased mortality.
Cardiovascular disease is the predominant cause of death in type 2 diabetics.
The elevated mortality risk in type 2 diabetes is not fully explained by common cardiovascular risk factors.
