Abstract
- The article discusses a study on the association of diabetes with a greater risk of fatal COVID-19, influenza/pneumonia, and coronary heart disease in both sexes. Highlights include sex-specific associations of death by influenza/pneumonia, the use of Cox regression to obtain sex-specific hazard ratios, and the association of undiagnosed diabetes with a 3.5-fold excess risk of COVID-19 mortality in men.
