4.1 | Principal findings
This population-based cohort study demonstrated that young women with UL
appear to be at a higher risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus than those
without UL. Incidence rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus in women with UL
was higher than that in women without UL. However, women with UL who
underwent myomectomy did not have an increased risk for developing type
2 diabetes mellitus as compared to those without UL. The risk for type 2
diabetes mellitus was higher in women with UL who did not undergo
myomectomy as compared to that in those without UL.
