Visceral obesity is associated with high cardiovascular events risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Whether normal-weight visceral obesity will pose a higher atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk than body mass index (BMI)-defined overweight or obese counterparts with or without visceral obesity remains unclear. We aimed to explore the relationship between general obesity and visceral obesity and 10-year ASCVD risk in patients with T2DM.
Patients with T2DM (6997) who satisfied the requirements for inclusion were enrolled. Patients were considered to have normal weight when 18.5 kg/m ≤ BMI < 24 kg/m; overweight when 24 kg/m ≤ BMI < 28 kg/m; and obesity when BMI ≥ 28 kg/m. Visceral obesity was defined as a visceral fat area (VFA) ≥ 100 cm. Patients were separated into six groups based on BMI and VFA. The odd ratios (OR) for a high 10-year ASCVD risk for different combinations of BMI and VFA were analysed using stepwise logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for diagnosing the high 10-year ASCVD risk were constructed, and areas under the ROC curves were estimated. Potential non-linear relationships between VFA levels and high 10-year ASCVD risk were examined using restricted cubic splines (knot = 4). Multilinear regression was used to identify factors affecting VFA in patients with T2DM.
In patients with T2DM, subjects with normal-weight visceral obesity had the highest 10-year ASCVD risk among the six groups, which had more than a 2-fold or 3-fold higher OR than those who were overweight or obese according to BMI but did not have visceral obesity (all P < 0.05). The VFA threshold for high 10-year ASCVD risk was 90 cm. Multilinear regression showed significant differences in the effect of age, hypertension, drinking, fasting serum insulin, fasting plasma glucose, 2 h postprandial C-peptide, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol on VFA in patients with T2DM (all P < 0.05).
T2DM patients with normal-weight visceral obesity had a higher 10-year ASCVD risk than BMI-defined overweight or obese counterparts with or without visceral obesity, which should initiate standardised management for ASCVD primary prevention.
内脏型肥胖与 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)患者的心血管事件风险升高有关。在有或无内脏型肥胖的情况下,体重指数(BMI)定义的超重或肥胖患者中,正常体重的内脏型肥胖是否比 BMI 定义的超重或肥胖患者具有更高的动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)风险尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨 T2DM 患者中一般肥胖和内脏型肥胖与 10 年 ASCVD 风险之间的关系。
纳入符合纳入标准的 T2DM 患者(6997 例)。当 18.5 kg/m≤BMI<24 kg/m 时,患者被认为是正常体重;24 kg/m≤BMI<28 kg/m 时,患者被认为是超重;BMI≥28 kg/m 时,患者被认为是肥胖。内脏型肥胖定义为内脏脂肪面积(VFA)≥100 cm。根据 BMI 和 VFA,患者被分为六组。使用逐步逻辑回归分析不同 BMI 和 VFA 组合的高 10 年 ASCVD 风险的比值比(OR)。构建诊断高 10 年 ASCVD 风险的受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线,并估计 ROC 曲线下面积。使用限制性立方样条(结=4)检查 VFA 水平与高 10 年 ASCVD 风险之间的潜在非线性关系。多元线性回归用于确定影响 T2DM 患者 VFA 的因素。
在 T2DM 患者中,六组中正常体重的内脏型肥胖患者的 10 年 ASCVD 风险最高,与 BMI 定义的超重或肥胖但没有内脏型肥胖的患者相比,其 OR 超过 2 倍或 3 倍(均 P<0.05)。VFA 诊断高 10 年 ASCVD 风险的阈值为 90 cm。多元线性回归显示,年龄、高血压、饮酒、空腹血清胰岛素、空腹血糖、餐后 2 小时 C 肽、甘油三酯、总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇对 T2DM 患者 VFA 的影响存在显著差异(均 P<0.05)。
与 BMI 定义的超重或肥胖但无内脏型肥胖的患者相比,T2DM 合并正常体重的内脏型肥胖患者具有更高的 10 年 ASCVD 风险,应启动 ASCVD 一级预防的标准化管理。
