Causes of death and estimated life expectancy among people with diabetes: A retrospective cohort study in a diabetes clinic

Abstract We sought to estimate the exact causes of death, mortality rate and life expectancy of diabetes patients by analyzing death records in a diabetes specialist clinic in Japan. Of the 6,140 participants included in our analysis, the average age was 58.1 years and 77% were men. A total of 261 d...
