Medical (general)
Hyperglycemia and/or hyperinsulinemia following meals not only negatively impacts blood glucose control in diabetes, but are risk factors for CVD, total mortality, and type 2 diabetes in the population not already affected.
Note: I have a problem with the phrase "total mortality" - isn't "total" redundant in this case?

tasa de mortalidad/mortandad
Generally, in Spanish medical texts we use "tasa de mortalidad". As to the adjective "total", I am not really sure if it should be simply erased, just like that. It will depend on the context surrounding the sentence you reproduced in your question, particularly if there are mentions on it to other, so to speak, more restricted "mortalities". Yes, it might the kind of "emphasizing" adjective so common in English. But beware of the context....

The comment by hecdan seems to me very appropriate regarding "total".
