The youngest age group (35-49 years) had persistently worse glycemic control compared to the elderly group (>=65 years), with elderly patients having a 39% lower relative risk of persistent poor control (RR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.47-0.79 for elderly vs youngest). Conversely, the middle-aged group (50-64 years) was associated with achieving good glycemic control (HbA1c <7%: RR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.02-1.71).
