The estimated 10-year risk for coronary heart disease among US adults with diabetes significantly decreased between 1999 and 2008, driven by improvements in HbA1c, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Earl S. Ford (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Diagnosed diabetes (n=1,977). Time period 2007-2008 vs. Time period 1999-2000 was evaluated on Estimated UKPDS 10-year risk for CHD (p=< 0.001). The estimated 10-year risk for coronary heart disease among US adults with diabetes decreased significantly from 21.1% in 1999-2000 to 16.4% in 2007-2008 (P<0.001).
