20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of Lagos

Abstract

A significant proportion of the diabetic patients have multiple co-existing modifiable CVD risks. Abdominal obesity and poor sleep were the most prevalent. Older men who are unmarried were more likely to have multiple risks. Primary and secondary preventive measures to address CVD risks amongst diabetic patients are warranted and should target older unmarried men.
