Diabetic Women Suffer More Years of Life Lost Than Diabetic Men

الملخص EN

We read with interest the recent paper by Harjutsalo and colleagues [1] which reported that the standardized mortality ratio due to ischemic heart disease was higher in women than in men in the cohort of type 1 diabetes: within the early-onset (0–14 years) cohort, the standardized mortality ratio was 52.8 (95% confidence interval 36.3–74.5) in women compared with 12.1 (9.2–15.8) in men; within the late-onset (15–29 years) cohort, the standardized mortality ratio was 15.8 (11.8–20.7) in women compared with 5.0 (4.3–5.8) in men.
