  1. *Hazard rates (×1000) estimated as number of deaths divided by person years of observation.
  2. †Hazard rates (×1000) estimated as average mortality rates from the life table 2001-2005 of the Danish population.
  3. φ Hazard rates (×1000) estimated as average mortality rates from the life table 1991-1995 of the Danish population
  4. ‡This is calculated by dividing the hazard rate of diabetic patients by the hazard rate of the Danish population (2001-2005).
  5. λ This is calculated by dividing the hazard rate of diabetic patients by the hazard rate of the Danish population (1991-1995).
  6. §Among subjects aged 85 years or over, the age distribution for diabetic patients is very different from that of the background population. Therefore, a comparable hazard rate for the background population cannot be calculated
