From: Age, gender, insulin and blood glucose control status alter the risk of ischemic heart disease and stroke among elderly diabetic patients

Figure 2

Effects of age and insulin therapy on the risk of IHD and CVA among diabetic patients stratified by glycemic control (measured by hemoglobin A1C, stratified as ≤ 7.0% vs. > 7.0%). Incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD), left column, and cerebrovascular accident (CVA), right column. Patients with lower hemoglobin A1C values, upper column, and higher hemoglobin A1C values, lower column. (a) Incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (≤ 70 years of age). (b) Incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (> 70 years of age). (c) Incidence of stroke (CVA) (≤ 70 years of age). (d) Incidence of stroke (CVA) (> 70 years of age). These data were adjusted for age and gender. *p < 0.05 Blue column: subjects using insulin. Red column: subjects not using insulin.
