Mortality in persons with undetected and diagnosed hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hypothyroidism, compared with persons without corresponding disease-A prospective cohort study; The HUNT Study, Norway
BMC Family Practice Dec 13, 2017
Jorgensen P, et al. - Here, the physicians compared all-cause mortality between persons with diagnosed and persons with undetected hypothyroidism, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and hypertension in a general population, compared with persons without the corresponding disease. Participants with diagnosed T2DM or hypertension had increased mortality compared to participants without the diseases. However, compared with persons with diagnosed T2DM, the strength of the association with mortality in undetected T2DM was lower. Further, in persons with undetected hypothyroidism and hypertension, mortality was not increased compared with persons without the diseases.
