This study aimed to determine whether daily low-dose aspirin reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) associated with COVID-19. A longitudinal cohort of 200,000 adults followed from 2018 to 2022 was analyzed, comparing T2D incidence between aspirin users and non-users. Propensity score matching was used to balance the groups. The incidence of T2D was substantially lower in the aspirin group, with Cox regression showing a 52% risk reduction. Kaplan-Meier analysis confirmed a significant divergence in cumulative T2D risk after two years. This protective effect was observed both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a stronger association during the pandemic period. These findings indicate that daily low-dose aspirin significantly reduces the risk of COVID-19-associated new-onset T2D, highlighting the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of T2D triggered or unmasked by COVID-19.
本研究旨在确定每日低剂量阿司匹林是否能降低与2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)相关的2型糖尿病(T2D)风险。对2018年至2022年随访的20万名成年人的纵向队列进行了分析,比较了阿司匹林使用者和非使用者之间的T2D发病率。采用倾向评分匹配法平衡各组。阿司匹林组的T2D发病率显著较低,Cox回归显示风险降低了52%。Kaplan-Meier分析证实,两年后累积T2D风险存在显著差异。在COVID-19大流行之前和期间均观察到这种保护作用,在大流行期间关联更强。这些发现表明,每日低剂量阿司匹林可显著降低与COVID-19相关的新发T2D风险,突出了炎症在由COVID-19引发或暴露的T2D发病机制中的作用。
