Why the study?
Does gender influence the incidence and risk factors for coronary events in Japanese hypercholesterolemic patients treated with low-dose simvastatin?

In Japanese hypercholesterolemic patients treated with low-dose simvastatin, women have a lower overall incidence of coronary events but a significantly higher relative risk associated with diabetes compared to men.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Diabetes-associated coronary risk appears higher in women; extends sex-specific observations but remains hypothesis-generating in this observational cohort.
Sasaki et al. (2006) studied this question.
