Women with diabetes have 44% more likely to develop coronary heart disease than men with diabetes, regardless of sex differences at the levels of other important cardiovascular risk factors.

It is said by a study that is published in 'Diabetology' and that has analyzed data of more than 850,000 people, data that date back to almost 50 years, from 1966 to 2011, and come from 64 studies.According to information, women with diabetes had almost three times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than those without diabetes, while in the case of men, the risk was double.

The authors, Rachel Huxley, from the University of Queensland (Australia);Sanne Peters, from the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom), and the Medical Center of the University of Utrecht (Holland), and Professor Mark Woodward, of the George Institute for Global Health, (Australia), claim that it is the most studylarge of this type and support the smaller analysis findings, including a lower number of studies that showed 46 percent more risk of dying from heart disease in women with diabetes compared to men with diabetes.

more forgotten sex

In this new analysis the sex difference in the risk related to diabetes for a cardiovascular incident was consisting of the subgroups defined by age and region and remained unchanged after excluding non -fatal cardiovascular events.The authors discuss several possible reasons that make a difference.Especially in the past, women have been infromoted with the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, but even in the most contemporary populations, when diabetes is similar to men, women have generally had less likelyto achieve the objectives of the treatment.

The authors, like others before them, speculate that women can deteriorate metabolically even more than men who become diabetics, so they are at a worse starting point even before starting treatment.On the other hand, in the prediabetic state where glucose tolerance can already be affected but does not meet all diagnostic criteria of diabetes, the levels of risk factors are higher in women than in men.

prediabetes

For example, according to the 'UK General Practice Research Database', the body mass index of individuals at the time of diabetes diagnosis was, on average, almost two whole units higher (1.8 kg/m2) in thewomen than in men.«It is conceivable, therefore, that the excess risk of coronary heart disease related to diabetes in women may be due to a combination of a greater deterioration of cardiovascular risk factor levels and a chronically high cardiovascular risk profile in the statePrediabetic, driven by a higher level of adiposity in women compared to men, ”they say.
