What is the association between the age at onset of diabetes and the risk of all-cause mortality in young-onset type 2 diabetes patients?

Young-onset type 2 diabetes patients have a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality, especially with longer sleep durations.

The risk of all-cause mortality in young-onset diabetes patients was found to be 1.38 times greater than in midlife and senior patients.
Longer sleep duration was identified as an independent risk factor for mortality in young-onset diabetes patients.
Patients with young-onset diabetes engaged more in high-intensity activities and had a longer duration of diabetes.

If you get diabetes when you're young, you might be at a higher risk of dying earlier, especially if you sleep too much.

The study followed 7572 patients with type 2 diabetes over six years, analyzing mortality risk based on age at onset and other factors.

Potential biases may arise from the single-center design and the exclusion of patients with certain conditions.

The study was conducted in a single center and had a relatively small number of young-onset diabetes patients.

The study included 2874 men and 4698 women, with an average age of 57.9 years.
