was substituted for IGF-I(SD), the relationships became more intense (for men, HR=0.47, 95%CI 0.33–0.65, p< 0.001; for women, HR=0.50, 95%CI 0.27–0.91, p = 0.024). Conclusion: The present study showed that lower serum IGF-I levels were associated with the increased all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, suggesting that serum IGF-I could be clinically useful for assessing the risk of mortality in the population.
