Relevance of previously diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes to mortality from vascular (A), renal (B), and infectious (C) causes at ages 35–74 years, by glycaemic control

Rate ratios (RRs) are adjusted for age at risk, sex, smoking status, district, educational level, height, weight, and waist and hip circumferences, as well as diabetes duration for participants with previously diagnosed diabetes. The numbers above the squares are the RRs and the numbers below the squares are the number of deaths in that group. In all panels, the size of each square is proportional to the amount of statistical information.
