Malmborg M, Schmiegelow MDS, Nørgaard CH, et al. - Researchers used contemporary data to determine if higher relative rates of cardiovascular events in women vs men are conferred by diabetes. They also investigated if these sex-related differences rely on age. This study included all Danish inhabitants aged 40–89 years free of a history of major adverse cardiovascular events, including heart failure, as of January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2016. These people were classified by diabetes-status and defined by individual-level linkage of Danish nationwide administrative registers. For myocardial infarction, heart failure, ischemic stroke, or cardiovascular death, the overall and age-dependent incidence rates, incidence rate ratios, and women-to-men ratios were computed using Poisson regression. Findings revealed higher absolute rates of cardiovascular complications in men, but higher relative rates of cardiovascular complications related to diabetes were found in women vs in men across all ages in the contemporary era.
