From: Similar decline in mortality rate of older persons with and without type 2 diabetes between 1993 and 2004 the Icelandic population-based Reykjavik and AGES-Reykjavik cohort studies

Figure 1

A) Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rate and B) all-cause mortality rate per 1000 person years for older individuals with (T2D Yes) and without type 2 diabetes (T2D No). Rates were adjusted to age 75, sex and the mean levels of cardiovascular risk factors (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, BMI, triglycerides and smoking history), and hypertensive and statin medication within each cohort. In the Reykjavik Study (1993) the median follow-up period was 5.7 years and in the AGES-Reykjavik Study (2004) 5.3 years. The vertical lines represent the mortality rate for the AGES-Reykjavik cohort (N = 4814). The horizontal lines show 95% confidence intervals.
