ISLAMABAD: A global study has revealed that women with diabetes are 44 per cent more likely to develop coronary heart disease (CHD) than men with diabetes.
“Taken together, these data provide convincing evidence that diabetes poses a greater relative risk for cardiovascular diseases in women than in men,” the professor Rachel Huxley from University of Queensland in Australia said.
The study revealed that women with diabetes were almost three times more likely to develop CHD compared with women without diabetes, while men with diabetes were only twice as likely to develop CHD than men without diabetes.
