Diabetes Risk Factors in Men and Women
Diabetes differs between men and women in terms of risk factors and complications, due to hormonal differences, fat distribution in the body, and insulin sensitivity. Men often develop the disease at a younger age as a result of visceral fat accumulation, which reduces insulin sensitivity and increases the risk of diabetes and its complications, such as heart and kidney diseases. In women, premenopausal hormones provide temporary protection, but hormonal changes with age and menopause elevate the risk of developing diabetes, along with psychological factors and related conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome. To prevent the disease and reduce complications, it is recommended to monitor blood sugar levels, control blood pressure and cholesterol, maintain a healthy weight, engage in regular physical activity, and have periodic check-ups for heart and kidney health.
