    Journal: Scand J Prim Health Care; 1999 Jun; 17(2):116-21. PubMed ID: 10439496.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the importance of risk factors for microvascular and macrovascular complications, separated by sex, in type 2 diabetes. DESIGN: Cross-sectional surveys of diabetic patients registered with primary health services in 1995. SETTING: Three community health centres in Stockholm County. SUBJECTS: 407 subjects with type 2 diabetes in 1995. For 78 of these, data were also registered in 1992. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Odds ratio (OR) by logistic regression for risk factors predicting microvascular and macrovascular complications, for age and duration in years. RESULTS: For microvascular complications, the most important factors were in men the duration of diabetes (OR 1.13, p < 0.001) and in women the duration of diabetes (OR 1.08, p < 0.001) and age (OR 1.04, p < 0.05). For macrovascular complications, the most important factors were in men, age (OR 1.09, p < 0.001) and hypertension (OR 4.85, p < 0.001) and in women, age (OR 1.08, p < 0.001) and duration of diabetes (OR 1.08, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension is more important among men and the duration of diabetes among women as risk factor for macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes.
