TL;DR: This study confirms the importance of cardiovascular disease as the major cause of death in people with both types of diabetes and confirms the low excess mortality in the Tokyo cohort could have implications for the possible reduction of the burden of mortality associated with diabetes in other parts of the world.

TL;DR: Within the glucose intolerant and diabetic groups the risk factors most strongly related to subsequent death from coronary heart disease were age and blood pressure, with less consistent relations for smoking, cholesterol concentration, and obesity.

TL;DR: Although alcohol intake correlated with absence of leg reflexes and autonomic dysfunction, there was no overall association of alcohol consumption and neuropathy.

TL;DR: In 9 of the 14 national samples of diabetic patients assembled for the WHO Multinational Study of Vascular Disease in Diabetes additional laboratory data made it possible to relate manifestations of macrovascular disease to blood glucose concentrations as well as to diabetes duration and to other potential determinants.

TL;DR: Microvascular and acute complications were clearly related to duration of diabetes and to glycaemic control, however, the relation of glycaemia control to raised albuminuria differed qualitatively from its relation to retinopathy.
