Why the study?
Does female gender worsen long-term mortality and risk factor burden in patients under 65 years with diabetes after a myocardial infarction?

Women under 65 with diabetes have a higher long-term mortality after myocardial infarction compared to men, which is related to an increased baseline risk factor burden.

May indicate excess post-MI mortality risk in diabetic women <65; hypothesis-generating for sex-specific strategies.
