Scientists from the German Diabetes Center (DDZ) and the Robert Koch Institute found that after the age of 30, the risk of death in patients with diabetes increases every year by 8.3% in men and 10.2% in women. Research results published In the journal Acta Diabetologica.
During the research, scientists analyzed data from more than 47 million people who benefited from life and health insurance services in 2013. More than six million of them had diabetes. Subjects were observed for one year; More than 760 thousand deaths were recorded during this time. Moreover, 288 thousand of them were diabetic.
Scientists have calculated that after 30 years the likelihood of premature death due to diabetes increases significantly. Specifically, upon reaching this age, the probability of death in men and women with this disease increased by 8.3% and 10.2%, respectively.
The researchers also noted that as men and women reach older ages, the death rate from diabetes becomes similar for both genders. But among young women, the likelihood of dying prematurely from diabetes was similar to that of men without the disease.
