To assess the full effect of diabetes on survival in elderly subjects, residents of Melton Mowbray aged 65, 70, 75, 80, and 85 years were screened by glucose tolerance test and followed up for 4.5 years. Death occurred in 56 of 520 normal subjects, 9 of 44 subjects with impaired glucose tolerance, 7 of 19 newly diagnosed diabetic subjects, and 27 of 52 known diabetic subjects. Diabetic subjects were 4.5 times (95% confidence interval 2.9-7.0) more likely to die than subjects with normal glucose tolerance. Thus elderly diabetic subjects have a substantially increased risk of death compared to their normal glucose tolerant peers.
为评估糖尿病对老年受试者生存的全面影响，对梅尔顿莫布雷地区65岁、70岁、75岁、80岁和85岁的居民进行了葡萄糖耐量试验筛查，并随访4.5年。520名正常受试者中有56人死亡，44名糖耐量受损受试者中有9人死亡，19名新诊断糖尿病受试者中有7人死亡，52名已知糖尿病受试者中有27人死亡。糖尿病受试者死亡的可能性是糖耐量正常受试者的4.5倍（95%置信区间2.9 - 7.0）。因此，与糖耐量正常的同龄人相比，老年糖尿病受试者的死亡风险大幅增加。
