Gender differences in the progression of target organ damage in patients with increased insulin resistance: the LOD-DIABETES study

Conclusions: This study showed that the progression of vascular and renal TOD differs by gender. The increase in vascular and renal TOD was higher in women, especially in diabetic women. The PWV increase showed a positive association with mean HbA1c levels during the follow-up. Glomerular filtration was associated with BMI and the ABI was associated with duration since type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis.Trial registration: Clinical Trials.gov Identifier NCT01065155
