Why the study?
Are there gender differences in the composite control of cardiovascular risk factors among adults with Type 2 Diabetes?
Are there gender differences in the composite control of cardiovascular risk factors among adults with Type 2 Diabetes?
Women with Type 2 Diabetes have significantly worse control of cardiovascular risk factors compared to men, highlighting a need for targeted education and aggressive treatment to reduce disparities.
Suggests gender disparities in T2DM CV risk control; leaves open whether targeted strategies improve outcomes.
In this sample of adults with T2DM, women had significantly lower composite control compared with men, when adjusting for relevant confounders. It is imperative that women are informed about CVD risk factors, educated on how to reduce them, and aggressively treated to avoid adverse outcomes. Additional research involving women is needed to explore and reduce disparities in CVD risk between men and women with T2DM.
