Abstract
Aims: To estimate the risk of developing long-term major cardiovascular and renal complications in relation to levels of body mass index (BMI) in a population of White European (WE), African-Caribbean (AC), and South Asian (SA) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Materials and methods: Patients with new diagnosis of T2DM, aged≥18 years from January 2000 (n=69,436) and their age-sex-ethnicity matched non-diabetic controls (n=272,190) were identified from UK primary care database. Incidence rates ratios (IRRs) for non-fatal major cardiovascular events (MACE) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with T2DM compared to controls were estimated using multivariate Mantel-Cox model..
