Baseline characteristics and risk factors or recorded events of cardiovascular disease for all diabetic and non-diabetic subjects aged 35–74 years in the Health Survey for England 1998
| Diabetic | Non-diabetic | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Men (n=129) | Women (n=89) | Total (n=218) | Men (n=3147) | Women (n=3514) | Total (n=6661) |
| Values are mean (SD) or n (%). All subjects had total cholesterol measurements. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease is greater than the sum of the prevalence of myocardial infarction, stroke, and angina because some subjects had more than one condition. | ||||||
