HbA1c Levels Associated With Mortality Regardless Of Diabetes Diagnosis

Regardless of diabetes diagnosis, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are associated with mortality, with risk for all-cause mortality increasing with HbA1c levels that are too low or too high,” researchers concluded after conducting “a study of participants from the Health and Retirement Study who had available HbA1c data and no history of cancer (n = 15,869).” The findings were published online in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. https://www.endocrinologyadvisor.com/home/topics/diabetes/hba1c-linked-to-all-cause-mortality-risk-in-patients-with-and-without-diabetes/
