“the one thing I want to call out here that really cannot be matched in a study like this so this is a very important limitation is the medication so look at look at that column Andrew notice how pretty much everything else is perfectly matched until you get to the medication list yeah it's all over the place yeah it's just you it's not even close they're not where they're nowhere near matched right in other words just to give you a couple of examples right on the and let's just talk about The Singletons because it's basically the same story on the twins if you look at what fraction of the people with type 2 diabetes are on lipid lowering medication it's 45.6 percent versus 15.4 percent in the Matched without diabetes it's a 3X difference what about anti-platelet therapy that's 30 versus 14 antihypertensive 65 percent versus 63 versus 31
