No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Background: The genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of men and women determine metabolic differences, given by hormonal mechanisms and sexual dimorphism in adipose tissue, impacting the health-disease process.Objective: To compare the gender differences in metabolic alterations in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) treated in first-level medical units.Material and methods: Analytical transversal study.After signing informed consent, adult patients with T2DM were included.Sociodemographic, anthropometric, biochemical and clinical data were collected.Metabolic dysfunction was evaluated using metabolic syndrome criteria.They were analyzed using Student t, Pearson x 2 and Mann-Whitney U test to identify differences by gender.Results: 5154 patients with DT2 were included.In women, a higher body mass index was observed (29.91 vs. 28.74kg/m 2; p < 0.001), and a higher proportion of obesity (44.2% vs. 38.7%;p < 0.001), hypercholesterolemia (94.0% vs. 90.5%;p < 0.001) and hypoalphalipoproteinemia (75.6% vs. 24.4%;p < 0.001), while microalbuminuria (36.4% vs 18.8%; p < 0.001) and hypertension (70.3% vs. 66.7%;p < 0.001) were higher in men.Conclusions: The presence of metabolic dysfunction is different between women and men.Obesity, hypercholesterolemia and hypoalphalipoproteinemia were more frequent among women, while among men they were hypertension and the presence of microalbuminuria.
