Is age at diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus associated with cardiovascular and mortality risks?
Age at diagnosis of T2DM is an important prognostic factor for cardiovascular risk and survival, supporting early prevention efforts.
Age at diagnosis of T2DM is prognostically important for survival and cardiovascular risks, with implications for determining the timing and intensity of risk factor interventions for clinical decision making and for guideline-directed care. These observations amplify support for preventing/delaying T2DM onset in younger individuals.
