The age and prevalence of concomitant co-morbidities at semi-maximum values are shown comparing insured persons with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after standardization for age and sex on the residual population of South Western Germany. R2 is the goodness of fit from the respective regression model calculating the curves. For this analysis the age groups of 20 years and older were considered only

(* The intersection with the fitted curve and the semi-maximum is located at a time point below 20 years. Therefore, the age shift is not calculable (NC).)
