Assessment of sex disparities in prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes mellitus: results from the Bangladesh demographic and health survey data

This study reveals that diabetes prevalence in Bangladesh is influenced by various risk factors, with distinct impacts on men and women. Women living in Dhaka who are unemployed are at a significantly higher risk of both diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes compared to men. To effectively combat the rising diabetes rate, we must implement targeted interventions that address these sex-specific disparities. These interventions should focus on age, wealth, regional variations, and especially on unemployed women in Dhaka, considering their heightened risk.
