Risk of all-cause mortality according to the number of risk factors within target range among participants with type 2 diabetes compared with those without diabetes by age (A) and sex (B) categories. Hazard ratio was estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression with age as time scale and adjusted for sex (for analyses by age categories only), ethnicity, education, and Townsend deprivation index. Interactions with age and sex for the association of all-cause mortality according to the number of risk factors within target range among participants with diabetes compared to those without diabetes: P for interaction with age = 0.012; P for interaction with sex = 0.74.
