The Effect of Hypertension Duration and the Age of Onset on CV Risk Factors Expression in Perimenopausal Women

Figure 2

Categories of diabetes duration (<5, 5–10, >10 years) according to categories of hypertension duration (<5, 5–10, >10 years); patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2, N = 55. It indicates the relative frequencies (%) of categories of diabetes duration (<5, 5–10, >10 years) distributed across categories of hypertension duration (<5, 5–10, >10 years). The highest frequency (100%) was found for the category of diabetes duration of less than 5 years, indicating recent diabetes onset, in the category of hypertension duration of less than 5 years, compared to longer hypertension duration (Kruskal–Wallis ANOVA, ).
