SES of individual was assessed by SES-score, a composite index derived from three SES-related indicators (education level, average monthly income, and marital status).

To detect the gender differences, all analyses were stratified by gender. Results Among 39259 rural participants, the means (SDs) SES-score of total population, men, and women were 3.47 (1.54), 3.72 (1.49), and 3.31 (1.57), respectively. The SES-score decreased with age and men always had a higher score than women. The prevalence of T2DM decreased with increasing SES-score among women (14.87–4.47%, P trend P trend |
