Gender differences in cardiovascular disease risk factors, treatments and complications in patients with type 2 diabetes: the <scp>RIACE</scp> Italian multicentre study

Abstract

In women with type 2 diabetes from the RIACE cohort, a more adverse CVD risk profile and a higher likelihood of failing treatment targets, compared with men, were not associated with treatment differences. This suggests that factors other than gender disparities in treatment intensity are responsible.
