Dyslipidaemia is highly prevalent (50.4%) among type 2 diabetic patients in rural Nigeria, highlighting the need for early detection and management to reduce cardiovascular risk.
Kayode et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=113). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Total cholesterol (mmol/l) (p=0.001). Female type 2 diabetic patients had significantly higher mean total cholesterol (4.8 vs 4.07 mmol/l), HDL-C, and LDL-C compared to male patients, with an overall dyslipidaemia prevalence of 50.4%.
