Figure 3. Mortality Rates for Each Cause of Death Among Participants with and Participants without Previously Diagnosed Diabetes.

Shown are the absolute estimated disease-specific rates of deaths according to the cause of death among persons with and persons without previously diagnosed diabetes. The analysis combines the percentages of participants in the current study who died between 35 and 74 years of age from particular diseases, the disease-specific rate ratios for death at 35 to 74 years of age, and 2012 national mortality rates in Mexico. The rates for all bars sum to the rates of death from any cause. The unshaded portions of the bars represent the mortality rate for the specific cause of death among participants without previously diagnosed diabetes. The shaded portions of the bars represent excess risk of death that was either associated with previously diagnosed diabetes or that was due to acute diabetic crises. The weighted average of the death rates shown (for 16% of persons with diabetes plus 84% of persons without diabetes) match uniformly age-standardized 2012 Mexican national rates at 35 to 74 years of age for 50% men plus 50% women. Infective diseases include peptic ulcer disease and exclude any infection in another plotted category. For stroke alone, annual rates of death were 0.05% among persons without previously diagnosed diabetes and 0.19% among persons with previously diagnosed diabetes.
