Differences in Disease Demographics and Associated Co- Morbidities in Working Men and Women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The study was undertaken to investigate the differences in the disease demographics and associated co-morbidities in working men and working women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The study was carried out in 292 working men and working women from Bellary and Davangere districts of Karnataka state of India. The results indicate that a sex and gender difference does exist in treatment, management and prevalence of associated co-morbidities among working women and working men. Working women had higher prevalence of co-morbidities than men indicating a positive role of T2DM and its effect on dealing with multiple tasks of managing their regular activities, disease associated care and job related activities. The results re-emphasizes inclusion of sex and gender dimension in treatment modalities (pharmacological, dietary and quality of life) of T2DM in working men and working women separately.
