OBJECTIVE - To demonstrate the relation of exercise capacity and BMI to mortality in a population of mate veterans with type 2 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - After excluding two under-weight patients (BMI = 30 kg/m(2)) and by exercise capacity (= 5.0 maximal METs). The association among exercise capacity, BMI, other clinical variables, and all-cause mortality was assessed by Cox proportiovial hazards. Study participants were followed for mortality up to 30 June 2006.RESULTS - During a mean follow-up of 4.8 +/- 3.0 years, 112 patients died, for an average annual mortality rate of 2.2%. Each 1-MET increase in exercise capacity conferred a 10% survival benefit (hazard ratio 0.90 [95% CI 0.82-0.98]; P = 0.01), but BMI was not significantly associated with mortality. After adjustment for age, ethnicity, examination year, BMI, presence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and CVD risk factors, diabetic patients achieving
