Lancet Sub-Journal: Research spanning half a century tells you that cardiovascular risk changes in diabetic patients throughout their lives

Heart vascular disease is type 1 diabetes, the major determinant of (T1D) patients with premature death

In this retrospective, nationally registered cohort study, the researchers followed up all Finnish patients under the age of 15 who were diagnosed with T1D between January 1, 1965 and December 31, 1999.

According to the year of diagnosis of diabetes, the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular disease was calculated using the Fine and Gray method, using six diagnostic cohorts

As a result, a total of 11766 people were included in this study

With the passage of time, the risk of cardiovascular disease in childhood type 1 diabetes patients continues to decrease

Cumulative cardiovascular risk in different follow-up cohorts

To sum up, in Finland, the risk of cardiovascular disease in T1D patients with childhood onset decreases over time
