Although percentage female increased relation increasing age, 80% total male. While smoking history observed decrease aging, there a statistically significant increase HT DM (p<0.001). young males DM, other hand, significantly higher women than men number modifiable found smaller male 8 younger females average. CONCLUSIONS results especially have living suggested that most cases at ages might prevented by modification these factors.
