“…The hormonal changes associated with climaterium seem to be responsible for the higher prevalence of DM among women than among men, from the age of 50 years 27 . In this study, higher education levels were inversely associated with the occurrence of DM and in other studies 10,11,28 . The low level of school education may limit the access to health information and hinder the understanding of the guidelines for prevention and/or treatment of DM, resulting in poor adequate control and risk of complications.…”

“…This was similar to the findings from a study carried out in the city of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, 27 in which higher schooling levels were inversely associated with occurrences of diabetes among 621 elderly individuals aged 60 years and over. Likewise, in a study carried out in the municipality of Triunfo, 28 Regarding marital status, for men, being married or in a stable partnership showed a statistically significant association with occurrences of diabetes. This result was contrary to those of other studies, such as GAZEL, 29 in which reports of non-communicable chronic diseases were more frequent among individuals living alone.…”
