“…Mortality figures underestimate the burden of diabetes, since the underlying cause of death (including diabetes) is not accounted in the final cause of death estimates. Coeli et al [19] examined 2,974 death certificates of older adults and found that 291 subjects had diabetes as one of the reported causes of death. However, only 150 subjects had diabetes as the underlying cause of death.…”

“…Improvements in health care programs and a decrease in tobacco consumption have most likely influenced a decline in the rates of stroke in recent decades [1,5]. Diabetes has affected mortality as an associated cause, although deaths directly attributable to diabetes have remained relatively stable in recent decades [1,6]. Diabetic patients in Brazil have a more than three-fold excess mortality rate compared to the general population [7,8] and, as in other settings, most of this excess mortality is driven by increased cardiovascular mortality risk [7].…”
