Table 3

Incidence rate ratios (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) by type 2 diabetes status and type of event, women versus men.

Women versus men	Without T2DM		With T2DM
	IRR	95% CI	IRR	95% CI
Stroke	0.68	0.63–0.74	0.72	0.62–0.82
Myocardial infarction	0.36	0.33–0.39	0.61	0.53–0.72
Heart failure	0.63	0.57–0.69	0.66	0.58–0.77

IRR = calculated using Poisson model, adjusted for age and foreign status. Men were used as reference.
