Adult-onset type 1 diabetes: predictors of major cardiovascular events and mortality
Adult-onset T1D carries excess risk of death and MACE compared with population controls but less MACE risk than T2D. Individuals diagnosed after age 40 had similar excess risk and poorer glycaemic control than those diagnosed earlier, underscoring the need for improved management. Key prognostic factors were smoking, poor glycaemic control, and overweight/obesity.
