2. Study Objectives Gregg E et al. Diabetes Care 2012;35:1252-1257 To determine whether all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) death rates declined between 1997 and 2006 among U.S. adults with and without diabetes

3. Study Design Gregg E et al. Diabetes Care 2012;35:1252-1257 Compared 3-year death rates of 4 consecutive nationally representative samples of U.S. adults (1997–1998, 1999– 2000, 2001–2002, and 2003–2004) using data from National Health Interview Surveys linked to National Death Index
