Abstract
Background There appear to be sex differences in the risk factors for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in type 2 diabetic patients, but studies in Taiwanese patients have not been conducted. Methods and Results A total of 610 (268 men, 342 women) Taiwanese patients aged 63.3±10.8 years were evaluated. PAD was diagnosed by an ankle - brachial index Circ J 2007; 71: 1131 - 1136)Keywords
