Why the study?
Does diabetes and/or CHD status increase the incidence of major CHD, stroke events, and total mortality in older men?
Does diabetes and/or CHD status increase the incidence of major CHD, stroke events, and total mortality in older men?
Men with diabetes only have a cardiovascular disease risk intermediate between men with angina and men with prior myocardial infarction, with risk increasing with diabetes duration.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Diabetes alone confers intermediate CHD mortality risk in older men; supports refined risk stratification but leaves open whether targeted interventions alter outcomes.
S. Goya Wannamethee (2004) studied this question.
