Abstract

[...]the recent PURE study, cited in our paper, indicated that the diabetes and hypertension prevalence rates were 25.1% and 30.3%, respectively, among older adults [5]. [...]this was one of the limitations we stated in our study—we were unable to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes (page 8). [...]adjusting for hypertension will bias that association [6].
