title: [Characteristics of development of diabetic neuropathy depending on sex of diabetic patients].
abstract: The authors present the results of clinico-neurological study on 3976 patients suffering from diabetes with the use of electrophysiological, biochemical and other methods. As revealed, the sex of diabetic patients, particularly at definite age periods produced a significant influence on the time of occurrence and the rate of development of various types of the central and peripheral neuropathy. Thus, at the age of under 30 years almost all the types of diabetic neuropathy originated earlier and developed more rapidly in women, and after the age of 50 years some of these types of neuropathies were more frequent and more pronounced in men. No significant differences in the incidence of many types of diabetic neuropathy were revealed at the age of from 30 to 50 years both in men and in women. The mentioned regularity was most distinctly traced in analysis of distal pelyneuropathy. A hypothesis is put forward on the causes inducing peculiarities of the diabetic neuropathy development depending on the sex factor.
