Metabolic adaptation
The annualized cardiovascular or death event rate is higher among individuals with diabetes compared to those who are normoglycaemic.
Healthcare providers should prioritize cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with diabetes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The annualized CV or death event rate was 0.79/100 person-years in the overall cohort, 0.51/100 person-years in normoglycaemics, 0.92/100 person-years among subjects with IFG and/or IGT at baseline, and 1.27/100 person-years among those with DM (p for trend <0.0001).
Why this rating
Based on a large prospective cohort study design.
