Significantly Increased Risk of All-Cause Mortality Among Type 2 Diabetes Patients Living Alone.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a lack of studies evaluating the association between living status and subsequent outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Objectives

This study aimed to assess the association between living alone and the risk of all-cause mortality in T2DM patients.

Methods

We performed a secondary analysis in patients with long-lasting T2DM from the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models was used to analyze and compare the hazard ratios (HRs) in patients living alone and with one or more adults.

Results

This study included 10,249 patients with T2DM. Of these, 2,078 (20.28%) were living alone and 8,171 (79.72%) lived with one or mor
