For comparison, 310 younger individuals without diabetes (age, \u226450 years) were included in the control group. We followed up participants for 34 years to assess the incidence of CVD events.

The more than double high risk of composite CVD events was found in the younger-onset T2DM compared with the older-onset T2DM (HR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.64\u20132.55) and non-diabetic controls (HR = 3.45,
