This is a reminder how diabetes would be a threat and a serious burden on the future. A recent study showed that diabetes will not only trigger the risk of serious diseases, but also can cut the life expectancy of a person for several years.
Diabetes is known as a disease that can double the risk of vascular disease, heart disease, and stroke. However, recent studies show, people who develop type 2 diabetes in middle age will experience a greater risk of dying early from cancer, infections, and mental disorders. Life expectancy of people with diabetes in middle age can be reduced to six years.
This is the result of evaluation experts from the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration, in collaboration with Cambridge University. They analyzed data on approximately 820,900 respondents who were followed for a decade around the world. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
After taking into account other risk factors, such as age, sex, obesity, and smoking, research studies show that people with diabetes at greater risk of dying from various types of cancers, infections, liver disorders, digestive problems, kidney and lungs.
About 60 percent decline in life expectancy with diabetes was due to vascular disease, such as heart disease and stroke. Only a small portion of this association can be explained by problems of obesity, blood pressure, or high blood fats. However, these conditions often occur together with diabetes.
Research involving more than 250 scientists from 25 countries also indicated that people with diabetes at risk of death due to torture yourself. However, experts also emphasized that this study needs to be further reviewed, including the possible relationship between diabetes and depression.
"These findings emphasize the importance of efforts to prevent diabetes and understand it better. This study shows that diabetes is not only a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but also associated with other diseases," said Emanuele In Angelantonio from Cambridge University.
