Risk of death from diabetes increased

The disease known as diabetes is more dangerous than any other disease. A recent study shows, a person of 50 years and older who suffer from diabetes, died six years earlier than people without diabetes.

This conclusion proves that the early death not only because of a heart attack or stroke. Furthermore, the risk of premature death increased up to threefold those suffering from diabetes in middle age.

While most people still think that heart attacks are the leading cause of death in persons over 50 years. Diabetes has been shown to be associated with a much broader impact on health than originally expected.

"It's pretty broad sweep of public concern, " said Dr. John Danesh University of Cambridge in England who led penelitian.Analisa on the use of medical information of 820,900 people from nearly 100 studies conducted predominantly in Europe and North America.

Conclusion This study published on Thursday (3 / 3) in the journal New England Journal of Medicine. Diabetes is a major cause of death in the United States, affects approximately 26 million Americans, or 8 percent, of them, including seven million who are not diagnosed.

High blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels and is a major cause of cardiovascular disease. The latest research does not apply to participants who already have heart disease when he registered. Participants were followed for 13.5 years and during that time there were over 123,000 deaths.

Generally the highest mortality of all causes arising from diabetes. The researchers do not forget to take into account other risk factors that may affect the outcome, including age, sex, smoking and body weight.

The researchers show that people with diabetes twice the risk of death from a heart attack or stroke compared with those without interference. But they also found that people with diabetes, a 25 percent higher risk of death from cancer and more likely to die of various diseases, including infections, pulmonary and renal failure have. Actually still not known exactly how the risk of diabetes increases.

However, the researchers said, in cases of infectious disease, diabetes, the immune system may be weakened. Diabetes can cause vision problems and loss of sensation in the legs. Danesh said, one interesting finding is the increased risk of suicide in people with diabetes. He said other research has diabetes with depression linked.

"Prevention of early diabetes could start by trying to normalize blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, through diet, exercise and medication, "said Dr. Alvin Powers, diabetes specialist at Vanderbilt University.
