The Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes in China: Results from the Cross-Sectional CAPTURE Study.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and treatment guidelines have increasingly focused on the comprehensive management of T2D and CVD. Here, we report data from the Chinese population within the CAPTURE study, including CVD prevalence in patients with T2D and insights into their management.

Methods: CAPTURE (a multinational, non-interventional, cross-sectional study in adults with T2D) included data from eight centers in China from July to September 2019.
