Type 2 diabetes reduces lifespan by almost a decade, says a new study published in JAMA. The study, which included more than 512,000 Chinese adults, found that those who were diagnosed with the metabolic disease in middle age lost, on average, nine years of life when compared to people who didn't have the disease.
Participants were recruited between 2004 and 2008 and were followed until 2014. Of the group, 6 percent had diabetes (4 percent lived in rural areas while 8 percent lived in urban areas).
Researchers found that those with diabetes had twice the risk of dying during the follow-up period, and the increase was higher in rural areas than in urban areas.
Diabetes was associated with increased mortality from ischemic heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, infection, and cancer of the liver, pancreas and breast.
The risk of dying from complications of diabetes (diabetic ketoacidosis or coma) was much greater in rural areas than in urban areas, and was much higher than in high-income countries.
The University of Oxford researchers estimated that the 25-year probability of death would be 69 percent among those diagnosed with diabetes at age 50 years compared with 38 percent among otherwise similar individuals without diabetes. The loss of life equaled about nine years of life —10 years in rural areas and eight years in urban areas.
More than 29 million Americans have diabetes, and it's the seventh leading cause of death, according to the American Diabetes Association. More than a quarter of Americans age 65 and older have diabetes.
Numerous studies have shown that losing weight and following a healthy diet will reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. A March 2016 study from Britain's Newcastle University found that losing 10 percent of body weight slashed the risk of Type 2 diabetes by up to 90 percent.
The study, which was published in Diabetes Care, found that undergoing a crash diet (800 calories) for eight weeks stopped diabetes in its tracks. If patients maintained their weight loss, they remained free of the condition. Even patients who had been diagnosed with diabetes for 10 years were able to reverse the disease.
