JAMA Sub-Issue: 29 Years follow-up report revealed! Recognized as "women have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease", why did type 1 diabetes roll over?

This study compared cardiometabolic risk factor profiles, cardiac protection drug use, and CVD events in men and women with type 1 diabetes and followed up for approximately 29 years in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Diabetes Intervention and Complication Epidemiology (DCCT/EDIC) study

Results Showed that a total of 1441 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (mean [SD] age at DCCT baseline, 26.

During dcct/EDIC, 113 women (16.

Guidelines for treatment to waist circumference, blood pressure, lipids, and HbA_1c reduced the risk of any CVD by 30% to 57%, while meeting lipid targets was associated

These findings suggest that although cardiometabolic risk factor profiles are more favorable, the burden of CVD events in women with type 1 diabetes is not significantly lower than in men, suggesting that the clinical impact of cardiometabolic risk factors is greater
