For all diabetics who were discovered in the Neustrelitz District in 1962/63 and who were aged between 62 and 81 when the disease manifested itself, reduction of expectation of life as compared with an age- and sex-adapted normal population could be calculated within the frame of a mortality follow-up. For the 62- to under 65-year-olds reduction in lifespan was 6.8 years; for the 65- to under 70-year-olds it was 5.6 years; for the 70- to under 75-year-old it was 4.1 years, and it was still detectable even in the group of the very old (75-81 years; 2.5 years). Only 15.6 per cent of the patients still reached, or even surpassed, a normal further expectation of life after the disease had become manifest. The much favourable prognosis established by renowned representatives of social medicine according to which the expectation of life of diabetics in the GDR corresponds to that of non-diabetics could not be confirmed by us.
对于1962/63年在新施特雷利茨区发现的所有糖尿病患者，且在疾病显现时年龄在62岁至81岁之间，在死亡率随访框架内，可以计算出与年龄和性别相适应的正常人群相比预期寿命的缩短情况。对于62岁至65岁以下的患者，寿命缩短了6.8年；对于65岁至70岁以下的患者，缩短了5.6年；对于70岁至75岁以下的患者，缩短了4.1年，甚至在高龄组（75 - 81岁；2.5年）中仍可检测到。疾病显现后，只有15.6%的患者仍达到或甚至超过正常的剩余预期寿命。社会医学知名代表所确立的更为有利的预后情况，即民主德国糖尿病患者的预期寿命与非糖尿病患者相当，我们无法证实这一点。
