The 2013 European Society of Cardiology guidelines cited estimates that approximately 70% of individuals with diabetes die from CVD [<span>1</span>], although a number of studies have demonstrated substantial declines in diabetes-related complication rates [<span>2</span>] and proportional mortality rates [<span>3</span>].</p><p>An important study by Magliano and colleagues examines whether these trends are consistent across multiple high-income settings, and quantifies the parallel trajectories of CVD, cancer and dementia mortality in people with versus without diabetes, with analysis of 1.7 billion person-years of observation with approximately 2.7 million deaths in people with diabetes and 11 million in those without, allowing us updated perspective on the degree of CVD dominance in diabetes mortality over 23 year observation windows [<span>1</span>]. The findings have direct implications for clinical practice, public health planning, and research prioritization. The analysis spans study periods from 2000 through 2023 in Finland, with complementary data from 10 other countries, capturing a period of CVD decline, with increasing use of cardioprotective pharmacotherapy including statins, antihypertensives, SGLT2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 receptor agonists, along with information about multiple additional causes of mortality, particularly cancer and dementia, based on whole-population administrative and registry datasets not susceptible to the referral, survival, and ascertainment biases that affect clinical trial populations and voluntary registries, with complete national vital statistics registration in these jurisdictions monitored. Using age-sex standardized rates restricted age 40–89 guards against the confounding of birth-cohort effects with period trends. By studying absolute mortality rates along with mortality rate ratios (MRRs) comparing people with and without diabetes, the authors disentangle absolute progress from changes in relative excess risk. Using the large language model Claude Sonnet 4.6 [<span>4</span>], we provide an independent quantitative perspective based on mortality rates extracted from the paper's published log-scale figures and from supplementary table 6 of the Magliano et al. appendix [<span>1</span>], weighted by country person-years to produce cross-jurisdictional summary estimates. These values should be understood as approximations (with inherent imprecision from figure-reading) rather than replacements for the paper's modeled age-period-cohort analysis estimates; they are directionally informative and serve to contextualize the paper's findings (see Appendix S1 for prompts used and full analyses).</p><p>Tables 1–3 show declines in weighted-mean CVD, cancer and dementia mortality declines both among people with diabetes and those not having diabetes, particularly dramatic for CVD, amounting to 69% and 72% re","PeriodicalId":189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes","volume":"18 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13138851/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147830784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
