Abstract
Haffner et al. (July 23 issue)1 have shown that diabetic subjects without prior myocardial infarction (mean age, approximately 58 years) have as high a risk of myocardial infarction as nondiabetic subjects with prior myocardial infarction. These findings were “population-based,” according to the investigators, but they actually used a population register of diabetic subjects. We would like to report our observations in a cohort drawn from a true cross section of the population.
