Having a child diminished mortality risk over the study period, but for people with type 1 diabetes, women benefited more than men, researchers reported here.
In an analysis of data from Finland, having at least one child reduced the risk of death for both men and women with diabetes and those who did not have the condition (P<0.01), but diabetic men did not garner the same extent of the protective benefit when compared with healthy men, Lena Sjoberg, MD, of the University of Helsinki in Finland, and colleagues reported at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes meeting here. http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/EASDEndo/41856
