ABSTRACT: Aims
We aimed to estimate the causes of death and their incidence rates and risk factors for all-cause mortality in Japanese people with type 2 diabetes using baseline data from the Japan Diabetes Complication and its Prevention (JDCP) prospective study.Methods
We analyzed a multicenter prospective cohort of 5944 Japanese people with diabetes aged 40-74 years. Causes of death were categorized as cardiac or cerebrovascular disease, malignancy, infectious disease, accident or suicide, sudden death of unknown cause, and other unknown causes. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the hazard ratio of all-cause mortality risk factors.Results
The mean age was 61.4 years, and 39.9% of the population was female. Overall, the mortality ratio per 100,000 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 515.3 (95% CI 445.1-596.9). Malignancies are the most common cause of death among people with type 2 diabetes, accounting for 46.9% of all deaths, followed by cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases at 11.7% and infectious diseases at 3.9%. Higher mortality risk was significantly associated with older age, lower body-mass index, alcohol intake, history of hypertension, and acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Conclusions
The frequency of causes of death in people with type 2 diabetes identified in this study was similar to that from a recent survey on causes of death conducted by the Japan Diabetes Society. A lower body-mass index, alcohol intake, history of hypertension, and AMI were found to be associated with an increased total risk of type 2 diabetes.Supplementary information
