I.: Sex as determinant of nephropathy (a), sensory neuropathy (b) and retinal measures (c). The figure shows adjusted (model 2) sex-specific prevalences and corresponding 95%-CIs of nephropathy (a), sensory neuropathy (b), neuropathic pain (b) and impaired uni- and bilateral vibration perception (b) and means and corresponding 95%-CIs of albuminuria (a), estimated glomerular filtration rate (a) and the retinal diameter (c) and dilatation (c) in participants with a normal glucose metabolism, prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Black circles represent women en white squares represent men. NGM: normal glucose metabolism, ref: reference group, preD: prediabetes, T2D: type 2 diabetes. Adjusted (model 2) differences between women and men (sex differences) are presented and statistically different sex differences (p < 0.05) are typed in bold. II.: Sex-by-(pre)diabetes as determinant of nephropathy (a), sensory neuropathy (b) and retinal measures (c). The figure shows adjusted (model 2) sex-specific odds ratios of nephropathy (a), sensory neuropathy (b), neuropathic pain (b) and impaired uni- and bilateral vibration perception (b), geometric mean ratios of albuminuria (a) and mean differences of estimated glomerular filtration rate (a) and the retinal diameter (c) and dilatation (c) between (pre)diabetes and normal glucose metabolism (reference category). NGM (ref) odds ratio is at 1.0 for women and men, but represents different prevalences for women and men (Fig. 1a–c-I). Black circles represent comparisons among women and white squares represent comparisons among men. PreD: prediabetes; T2D: type 2 diabetes. Results are expressed as adjusted linear or logistic regression coefficients and corresponding 95%-CIs. Differences between women and men (sex differences) are presented and statistically significantly different sex differences are typed in bold. ••p value < 0.05 • p value < 0.10
