Why the study?

Is age at diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus associated with cardiovascular and mortality risks?

To assess how the age at diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus relates to cardiovascular outcomes and overall mortality risk.
Evaluated the prognostic association between age at type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis and subsequent cardiovascular and survival outcomes.
Age at diabetes diagnosis serves as a critical prognostic factor for patient survival and cardiovascular disease risk.
Diagnoses at younger ages warrant earlier and more intensive risk factor interventions in guideline-directed care to delay or prevent disease onset.
