All-Cause Mortality among Adults with Diagnosed Hypertension and Diabetes in 2006/07¹

• Age-standardized all-cause mortality rates were about 2 times higher for adults with both diagnosed hypertension and diabetes compared to adults with diagnosed hypertension only (Figure 13).
• Age-standardized all-cause mortality rates were about 1.4 times higher for adults with both diagnosed diabetes and hypertension compared to individuals with diagnosed diabetes only (Figure 13).
• The age-standardized all-cause mortality rate among adults with diagnosed diabetes was higher than among those with diagnosed hypertension (Figure 13).
• The number of adults dying (all causes) with both diagnosed hypertension and diabetes increased from 29,967 or 14.5% in 2000/01 to 50,741 or 22.8% in 2006/07. This reflects the increase in prevalence of both conditions (Figure 14).²
