Age-stratified analyses (\u226550, \u226560 years) examined whether dyad\u2013outcome associations differed by patient age. Among 8635 participants (54.9% females, with a mean age of 63 years in the CoLaus study and 48 years in the Bus Sant\u00e9 study), female participants had a lower prevalence of dyslipidaemia and hypertension than male participants across both study samples, irrespective of physician sex. For dyslipidaemia, in CoLaus, female participants had higher odds of lipid-lowering therapy, yet lower odds of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol control, regardless of physician sex; in Bus Sant\u00e9, female participants managed by male physicians had lower odds of lipid control (adjusted odds ratios (OR) 0.52, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.28\u20130.95) compared to male physician\u2013male patient dyads. For hypertension, in CoLaus, female physician\u2013female patient dyads had lower odds of antihypertensive treatment (adjusted OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.42\u20130.92) than male physician\u2013male patient dyads; in Bus Sant\u00e9, treatment and control did not differ significantly by dyad. Most differences were more pronounced in patients aged 60 years or older.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
