Li et al. evaluated the associations of alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, hypertension, obesity, depression and sleep duration with coronary heart disease (CHD) development among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) with special reference to the gender differences [1]. By logistic regression analysis, the odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence intervals (CIs)) of female, older age (>=65), past smoking, long sleep duration, hypertension, and high cholesterol level were 0.51 (0.35-0.74), 1.95 (1.36-2.79), 1.76 (1.22-2.52), 1.7 (1.05-2.77), 3.49 (2.31-5.29) and 1.76 (1.25-2.48), respectively.
