[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2262980, member: 518059"] Apologies if this wasn't clear. What the study says is that your risk is 7% compared to a 50 to 59 year old if all other factors are equal. so this number does not take into account diabetes. If you want to calculate your overall risk then you can multiply 0.07 (age) times 1.5 (controlled diabetes) = 0.105. This then means: Compared to your 55 year old "twin" with exactly the same lifestyle, weight, genes ... , but no diabetes (could be your dad?) your risk is only 10%. However, when doing this you neglect correlations between age and diabetes, so could be an overestimate (technically even an underestimate, but this is very unlikely). [/QUOTE]
