A multinational, population-based study published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology reports that mortality from cardiovascular disease and diabetes has declined among people with diabetes in high-income jurisdictions, but mortality from dementia has increased markedly and independently of age. The study found that cardiovascular disease is no longer universally the most common cause of death among people with diabetes in high-income countries. For a leading diabetologist focused on complications and advancing standards of care, this finding underscores a fundamental shift in diabetes-associated mortality that will require re-evaluating long-term management strategies and screening protocols for cognitive decline alongside traditional cardiovascular risk reduction.
