Differences in Expression of Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients of Different Age
Atherosclerotic coronary heart disease and other forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are the major cause of mortality in type II diabetes (T2DM) as well as a major contributor to morbidity and lifetime costs. The purpose of this article is the identification of the biochemical parameters in plasma, which may serve as predisposition factors to CVD in T2DM patients of different ages. The variability of hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and inflammation with age progression was also studied for comparison. Four different diabetic groups allocated on the basis of the subjects' age (Group
