Psychosocial and behavioral risk patterns and risk of cardiovascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
The psychosocial risk pattern is significantly associated with the risk of CHD and CVD among patients with T2D. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating psychosocial support into tailored care strategies to mitigate cardiovascular risks in T2D patients.
