Analysis of Diabetes Mortality and Morbidity Risk commissioned research project.

The overarching aim of this research project is to develop a deeper understanding of the risks associated with a diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, and the impact of recent improved treatments. Specifically:

  • To understand the increased risk of medical complications, including the impact of behavioural and/or modifiable risk factors and implications for chronic conditions later in life.  
  • To understand the information available to insurance underwriters and how this is used to underwrite this risk. 
  • Gain insights from data by considering advanced data analytic techniques to understand relative risk factors.
  • To produce mortality tables at a granular level for lives with and without diabetes (inclusive of all age ranges). 
  • To produce morbidity tables at a granular level for inceptions of diabetes.
