OBJECTIVE: Many studies have shown that diabetes increases the risk of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women to a greater extent than in men. One
explanation could be that diabetes has more adverse effects on CVD risk
factors in women than in men. We compared diabetes-associated differences
in CVD risk factors in men and women in the Strong Heart Study, a
population-based study of CVD and its risk factors in American Indians.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 1,846 men and 2,703 women between
the ages of 45 and 74 years from 13 American Indian communities in three
geographic areas underwent an examination that included a medical history;
an electrocardiogram; anthropometric and blood pressure measurements; an
oral glucose tolerance test; and measurements of fasting plasma
lipoproteins, fibrinogen, insulin, HbA1c, and urinary albumin. RESULTS:
Statistically significantly greater adverse differences in those with
diabetes versus those without diabetes were observed in women than in men
for waist-to-hip ratio, HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein (apo)B, apoA1,
fibrinogen, and LDL size. In multiple linear regression models adjusting
for age, center, sex, and diabetes, the diabetes by sex interaction terms
were statistically significant for waist-to-hip ratio, LDL cholesterol, HDL
cholesterol, apoB, apoA1, fibrinogen, and LDL size. CONCLUSIONS: Compared
with diabetes-associated differences in men, diabetes in women was related
to greater adverse differences in levels of several CVD risk factors.
Although the magnitude of the individual diabetes-related differences
between men and women was not large, the combined effects of these risk
factor differences in diabetic women may be substantial. The apparent
greater negative impact of diabetes on CVD risk factors in women may
explain, in part, the greater risk for CVD in diabetic women.
