Risk of future microvascular and macrovascular disease in people with Type 1 diabetes of very long duration: a national study with 10-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To describe factors associated with prevalence or absence of microvascular and macrovascular complications in people with Type 1 diabetes of very long duration and to investigate the risk factors associated with the incidence of such complications.

Methods

We included individuals with Type 1 diabetes who had been entered in the Swedish National Diabetes Register between 2002 and 2004 (n = 18 450). First, risk factor distribution in people with diabetes duration of ≥ 50 years was compared between people with and without complications. Second, the incidence of complications during a 10-year follow-up period was studied in all individuals who had no complications at baseline.

Results

Among people with a diabetes duration of ≥ 50 years (n = 1023), 453 (44%) had macro
