The sex-age risk pattern likely reflects biological protective advantages in premenopausal women and a shift toward greater metabolic risk exposure in older women.

Among adults aged 40 and older, women carry disproportionately higher odds of pre-diabetes and undiagnosed diabetes than men of the same age.
