Background And Aims: Several works have shown that control of the principal cardiovascular risk factors, especially LDL-C, is poorer among women with type 2 diabetes than men with this disease. Our objectives were to compare the statin treatments and LDL-C levels between men and women with type 2 diabetes, according to the potency of the statin they take, while taking their cardiovascular risk level into account.
Method And Results: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study within the French CONSTANCES cohort.
