Diabetes and all-cause mortality among middle-aged and older adults in China, England, Mexico, rural South Africa, and the USA: a population-based study of longitudinal aging cohorts
Diabetes was associated with increased all-cause mortality in population-based cohorts in China, England, Mexico, rural South Africa, and the USA. Limitations included differences in diabetes biomarkers and selection criteria across cohorts. The results highlight the urgent need to implement clinical and public health interventions worldwide to reduce excess diabetes mortality.
