US EditionAdults Diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes Face Heart Health Issues, Risk Of Early Death
- The study followed about 10,200 individuals in Sweden with adult-onset type 1 diabetes from 2001 to 2020 and compared their health outcomes to those of approximately 510,000 people without the condition.
- The study found that adults with type 1 diabetes face a 30% greater chance of experiencing heart attacks, strokes, or other significant cardiovascular events, along with a 71% increased likelihood of dying prematurely from various causes, including cancer and infections.
- The study identified smoking, obesity, and poor glucose control as main reasons for this poor prognosis and noted these patients were less likely to use devices such as insulin pumps.
- Senior researcher Sofia Carlsson explained that outcomes can be greatly enhanced by addressing smoking habits, reducing obesity, and maintaining better blood sugar levels, especially among those diagnosed later in life, while lead author Yuxia Wei highlighted that these individuals tend to use fewer assistive devices like insulin pumps.
- These findings suggest that earlier diagnosis, healthier lifestyles, and better management could reduce cardiovascular and mortality risks, especially for adults diagnosed later in life.
