Increased Mortality Burden in Young Asian Subjects with Dysglycemia and Comorbidities.

ABSTRACT: High blood glucose level has a linear relationship with all-cause mortality. However, the influence of glycemic abnormality on mortality differs by age group. We aimed to analyze all-cause mortality according to glycemic status, age groups, and comorbidities using a national health database. The 6,330,369 participants who underwent Korean National Health Screening in 2009 were followed up until 2016, with a median follow-up of 7.3 years. All-cause mortality rates were analyzed according to glycemic status (normoglycemia, impaired fasting glucose [IFG], newly diagnosed diabetes, diabetes duration <5 years, diabetes duration ≥5 years), age groups (20-39, 40-65, and ≥65 years), and comorbidities using the Korean National Health Insurance System database. At baseline, 712,901 (11.3%) subjects
