Remarks

The data shown above were collected by the EUCID project for the years 2004 and 2005. Standardization was carried out using the European Standard Population (IARC 1976). This makes data more comparable between countries of differing population age structure.

The EUCID data include data on mortality for diabetes as primary and/or secondary cause of death (left column). The Eurostat data is restricted to primary causes of death (right column).
