Researchers investigated gender disparities in microvascular and macrovascular complication rates among individuals with diabetes.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMay 17 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, researchers investigated gender disparities in microvascular and macrovascular complication rates among individuals with diabetes.
Longer duration of diabetes raises the risk of complications, but there is limited research on the effects of the period of diabetes on gender disparities in diabetes-associated complications. The key study exposures were gender and diabetes duration at the start. The team analyzed data provided by the participants in baseline questionnaires linked to medical service claims data , hospitalization , drug prescriptions , and mortality registry information collection .
The sociodemographic characteristics measured were age, socioeconomic status , income, educational attainment, spoken languages, private medical insurance, and nationality. Results The age-adjusted incidence rates per 1,000 individual years for eye, heart, kidney, and lower limb complications were 52, 37, 32, and 21, respectively.
Both genders experienced comparable eye complications, although males had a lower risk of cataract surgery but a higher risk of diabetic retinopathy . After ten years, the cumulative incidence of ocular complications was 57% in males and 61% in females.
