Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To assess the sex differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among patients with type 2 diabetes attended at tertiary care centre. Material & Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among the type2 diabetes patients attending a tertiary care centre .We collected all data on preformed proforma regarding various risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in form of BMI, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, alcohol consumption and glycemic control (HbA1c >8% considered poor control) with prior informed consent. Data was analysed using SPSS, version 16.0. Results: Risk factors among 100 patients (80% males; mean age 54 years) patients were obesity (84%), poor glycemic control (32%), hypertension (34%), dyslipidemia (20%), smoking (61%) and consumption of alcohol (52%), respectively. Women had a higher prevalence of poor glycemiccontrol (40% vs 30%) and dyslipidemia (30% vs 17.5%) while men had a higher prevalence of smoking (75%) and alcohol consumption (65%). There were no sex differences in prevalence of hypertension and obesity. Conclusion: Cardiovascular risk factors were highly prevalent among patients with type 2 diabetes attending a tertiary care centre in India, with different risk profiles among men and women. We recommend a specific approach as per prevalence of sex specific risk factors in planning interventions to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
