Abstract
Results: Percent mortality among individuals with diabetes was 6.11% among males and 5.67% among females with mean follow-up of 13.7 years. For diabetes-related mortality, the crude hazard ratio (HR) for food insecurity was 1.42 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.95 p = 0.03). The adjusted HR was elevated, 2.66 (CI 1.05-6.78, p = 0.04), among food insecure individuals who had myocardial infarction (MI) but close to 1.0 (1.33 CI 0.99-1.79, p = 0.06) among food insecure individuals who had no MI infarction, after adjusting for medical (tobacco use) and demographic risk factors (poverty-income-ratio, age, gender, ethnicity).
