More women than men were hospitalized for Diabetes-related causes in 1997.
While the average lengths of stay were similar for men and women, average hospital charges for men were nearly $1,657 higher.
In Pennsylvania, higher proportions of women are hospitalized for diabetes- related causes. This is especially true from birth to 39 years of age and again after 60 years of age. This is also affected by the fact that women have a longer life expectancy than men.
