 DCC results from the research from Johns Hopkins University of Medicine published in the journal Diabetes Care showed that the risk of coronary heart disease will be much higher for women who are young and middle-aged type 2 diabetes (common in overweight people)

Generally women under 60 years of age at risk for coronary disease than men blinds at the same age. But for women with diabetes in this age group, the risk of heart disease was 4 times.

Dr. Rita Rastogi Kalyani, who led the study, said the findings, we need to work harder to prevent cardiovascular disease for women with diabetes are under the age of 60. The study also showed that that women with diabetes at any age regardless of risk of coronary heart disease is high. On the other hand, less diabetes affect cardiovascular risk in men.

The researchers analyzed data from 10,000 participants in three large studies. None of the participants had a history of cardiovascular disease. All 3 studies were obtained sex differences were similar to keep the incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular risk.

The study adds evidence that gender differences exist when considering the risk of cardiovascular disease caused by diabetes. Interestingly, in both men and women, these findings are not related to differences in obesity and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking.
