Diabetes risk factors develop earlier in women than men

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- The "diabetes clock" may start ticking in women years in advance of a medical diagnosis of the disease, according to a new research released Monday by the State University of New York at Bufflo.

Epidemiologists at the University at Buffalo have found that newly identified risk factors for diabetes found in the blood, such as markers of endothelial dysfunction, chronic sub-acute inflammation and blood clotting factors, are present early on in women who eventually progress from normal glucose status to the pre-diabetic condition.
