  1. aDiabetic death was defined as a person had a underlying cause of death as diabetes (ICD-10: E10-E14)
  2. bAll-cause with diabetes death was defined as a person with diabetes and died of any cause
  3. cDiabetic mortality from the NVSS was calculated as the total number of diabetic death divided by the total number of US adults
  4. dDiabetic mortality from the NHIS mortality follow-up was calculated as the weighted number of diabetic death divided by the weighted person-years of adults with and without diabetes
  5. eAll-cause with diabetes mortality from the NHIS mortality follow-up was calculated as the weighted number of deaths with diabetes divided by the weighted person-years of total adults
  6. fAmong adults with diabetes, diabetic mortality from the NHIS mortality follow-up was calculated as the weighted number of diabetic death divided by the weighted person-years of adults with diabetes
  7. gAmong adults with diabetes, all-cause mortality from the NHIS mortality follow-up was calculated as the weighted number of all-cause deaths divided by the weighted person-years of adults with diabetes
  8. hAmong adults without diabetes, diabetic mortality from the NHIS mortality follow-up was calculated as the weighted number of diabetic death divided by the weighted person-years of adults without diabetes
