Flowchart showing study design and methodology. * Dichotomous tetrachoric correlation (Rho) between diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic disease as co-occurring causes of death were identified in Asian Indian and Non-Asian Indian groups. + To examine whether this association (i.e., Rho) differed by age decade and sex, the difference in the fraction (% excess) of deaths with diabetes mellitus in those with atherosclerotic disease versus those without atherosclerotic disease, as a co-occurring cause of death, was calculated. Atherosclerotic disease (ATH): any of ischemic heart disease (ICD10 I20–I25), ischemic stroke (ICD10 I63), or atherosclerosis (ICD10 I70); diabetes mellitus (DM) (ICD10 E10–E14)
