Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke are common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to explore\nthe differences in the risks of CHD and stroke between Chinese women and men with T2DMand their association with metabolic\nsyndrome (MS). This study included 1514 patients with T2DM.The Asian Guidelines of ATPIII (2005) were used forMS diagnosis,\nand the UKPDS risk engine was used to evaluate the 10-year CHD and stroke risks. Women had lower CHD risk (15.3% versus\n26.3%), fatal CHD risk (11.8% versus 19.0%), stroke risk (8.4% versus 10.3%), and fatal stroke risk (1.4% versus 1.6%) compared with\nmenwith T2DM(
