The gender-based analysis showed that systolic BP ( β = 0.44, P <0.05) and HDL-C ( β = -0.36, P <0.05) were independently and significantly correlated with the d-ROMs levels in females with T2DM, while there was a marginally significant correlation between HDL-C and the d-ROMs levels ( β = -0.36, P =0.06) in males with T2DM.
