Association between within-target risk factors and life expectancy free from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and dementia in individuals with type 2 diabetes in New Zealand between 1994 and 2018: a multi-ethnic cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The extent to which type 2 diabetes (T2D) reduces life expectancy depends on the risk of complications. We aimed to characterise the relationship between risk factors for diabetes complications and life expectancy, in individuals with T2D, free from major chronic disease, in a regional database linked with national New Zealand health databases.

Methods

A prospective cohort study design was employed, analysing data from individuals with T2D drawn from the comprehensive Diabetes Care Support Service database (1994-2018). Participants with known values for all five within-target risk factors (WTRF +) including blood pressure, glycaemia, and LDL cholesterol, alongside being non-smoking with normal renal function at baseline, were included. Life expectancy free from ca
