Succurro E, Fiorentino TV, Miceli S, et al. - This study was undertaken to evaluate whether the relative risk of cardiovascular disease is higher in women with type 2 diabetes, but not in those with prediabetes, as compared with men. Researchers performed a cross-sectional study including a total of 3,540 adults with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), prediabetes, and diabetes to compare the relative risk (RR) for prevalent nonfatal cardiovascular disease between men and women. They matched the RR for incidences of major adverse outcomes, including all-cause death, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease events after 5.6 years of follow-up in a longitudinal study including 1,658 adults with NGT, prediabetes, and diabetes. This data revealed that In comparison with men, women with diabetes, but not those with predibetes, have higher RR for prevalent and incident major adverse outcomes.
