Hazard ratios of death among U.S. adults aged 20 years and older with diagnosed diabetes, the NHANES III Linked Mortality Study, 1988-2006. Unadjusted (blue dots) and adjusted (red dots) hazard ratios of death from total CVD (A), IHD (B), stroke (C), and other CVD (D) and their 95% CIs (high-low lines) were adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity, education attainment, diabetes duration, body mass index, leisure-time physical activity, smoking status, alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, serum HDL-C concentration, glomerular filtration rate, C-reactive protein, glycated hemoglobin A1C, and self-reported use of prescribed medicine to lower blood cholesterol. Adults with a serum non-HDL-C concentration below 130 mg/dL were set as the reference group. N = 1,122. To convert non-HDL-C concentration in mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.02586. Abbreviations: CVD, cardiovascular disease; IHD, ischemic heart disease; NHANES III, Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; Non-HDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
