The pathological reports for all patients over 13 years of age who had had an autopsy at one of three university-affiliated hospitals between 1967 and 1976 were reviewed to determine the principal cause of death. The clinical records of the patients with diabetes were reviewed to verify the diagnosis and to determine the known duration of diabetes. There were 1144 patients with diabetes mellitus and 5674 without. The sex distribution was similar in the two groups. The patients with diabetes were slightly older, males by 2.2 years and females by 3.2 years. Disease of the circulatory system was the principal cause of death in males (53.7%) and females (58.9%) with diabetes. The rates in the corresponding patients without diabetes were 37.6% and 35.2%. Neoplasms accounted for 18.9% of deaths in males with diabetes, compared with 35.7% in males without diabetes; the corresponding figures in females were 16.0% and 39.4%. Renal disease accounted for 5.9% of deaths in patients with diabetes.
回顾了1967年至1976年间在三家大学附属医院之一接受尸检的所有13岁以上患者的病理报告，以确定主要死因。查阅了糖尿病患者的临床记录，以核实诊断并确定已知的糖尿病病程。有1144例糖尿病患者和5674例非糖尿病患者。两组的性别分布相似。糖尿病患者年龄稍大，男性大2.2岁，女性大3.2岁。循环系统疾病是糖尿病男性（53.7%）和女性（58.9%）的主要死因。相应的非糖尿病患者的比例分别为37.6%和35.2%。肿瘤占糖尿病男性死亡人数的18.9%，而非糖尿病男性为35.7%；女性相应的数字分别为16.0%和39.4%。肾脏疾病占糖尿病患者死亡人数的5.9%。
