OBJECTIVE Despite its growing prevalence in China, the extent to which diabetes leads excess cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and all-cause is unclear. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We compared death rates causes of among 630 people with newly diagnosed (NDD) 519 normal glucose tolerance (NGT) who, 1986, were identified as a result screening 110,660 adults aged 25–74 years for Da Qing, China. RESULTS During 23 follow-up, 338 (56.5%) participants NDD 100 (20.3%) NGT died. CVD was predominant cause those (47.5% men 49.7% women), almost half due stroke (52.3% 42.3% women). The age-standardized incidence three times high incidences (per 1,000 person-years) 36.9 (95% CI 31.5–42.3) vs. 13.3 (10.2–16.5) (P < 0.0001) 27.1 (22.9–31.4) 9.2 (7.8–10.6) women 0.0001). deaths (17.5 [13.8–21.2] 13.5 [10.5–16.5]) did not differ significantly. Significantly higher attributable renal infection also found group. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes associated substantially increased risk Chinese adults, especially from CVD, stroke.
