Journal Title: The Journal of Middle East and North Africa Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Aim: To find out the gender differences in pulse pressure (PP) of Type II Diabetics with raised HBA1C. Methods: This is a Cross sectional study carried out in the outpatient departments and wards of all Medicine units of Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. Its duration is from May 15th to August 3rd, 2017. A total of 70 Diabetic patients above the age of 40 were included in the study. Their height and weight were recorded and BMI calculated. Their Blood pressure (BP) was also measured and the pulse pressure determined. The most recently performed HBA1C test values along with fasting and random blood sugar values were noted. Findings: The mean pulse pressure of males was 61.4 mm Hg, and females was 55.1 mmHg, this difference was not statistically significant, p>0.05. The mean SBP and DBP values were similar between the two genders. The mean HBA1C values were higher in females than males. Conclusion: PP does not differ in the two genders. However, there is a difference in diabetic control between the two.
