Table 3.

Age standardised death rates (per 1000) in non-diabetic people with and without cataract, stratified by sex. The age adjusted hazard ratios are from Cox proportional hazards regression models, values greater than 1.0 indicating excess mortality in people with cataract (that is, mortality in cataract cases = hazard ratio × mortality in people without cataract)

Subgroup	Died	Age standardised death rate per 1000	Age adjusted hazard ratio (95% CL)	p Value
Women
with cataract	70	39.8	1.7 (1.1 to 2.7)	0.032
without cataract	30	24.8
Men
with cataract	41	57.8	0.9 (0.6 to 1.5)	0.782
without cataract	50	63.0
