title: Cardiovascular risk factors and prevalence of coronary heart disease in type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes.
abstract: The relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and the prevalence of coronary heart disease was examined in 152 Type 2 diabetic patients (65 men, 87 women) aged 35-54 years and in 105 randomly selected control subjects (46 men, 59 women). Coronary heart disease, defined by symptoms and ECG abnormalities, was 1.2 times higher in male and 3.4 times higher in female diabetic patients than in the controls. In logistic regression analysis (including diabetes, age, body mass index, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol and hypertension) diabetes showed an independent, significant association to coronary heart disease in women, whereas hypertension was independently related to coronary heart disease in men.
