A dataset by Francois Verster provides cause-specific mortality rates per 100,000 people for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and those without diabetes. The dataset is 9.5 KB in size, stored in an XLS file, and was last updated on May 4, -2026. It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Compare mortality risk across diabetic and non-diabetic populations based on cause-specific rates.

• Model the public health burden of diabetes using comparative mortality statistics.
• Benchmark disease-specific outcomes for diabetic cohorts against a control group.

Strengths

• Provides a direct comparison of mortality rates across three distinct population groups: T1D, T2D, and non-diabetic.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse and redistribution.
• File size is 9.5 KB, making it quick to download and inspect.
