Abstract

Objective

This study aimed to assess the impact of metabolic factors and comorbidities on peripheral neuropathy.

Methods

Qatari nationals and long-term residents from the Qatar Biobank underwent clinical/metabolic assessments, including iDXA to measure visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) volumes, inflammation, thyroid function, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), corneal confocal microscopy (CCM), vibration perception threshold (VPT), and DN4 questionnaire.

Results

In 332 adults aged 43.4 ± 12.7 years, the prevalence of neuropathy was 3.9%. The prevalence of T2D was 16.6%, and the prevalence of neuropathy was significantly higher in T2D (14.5% vs. 1.8%, p < 0.0001). A higher HbA1c (p = 0.05) and lower eGFR (p < 0.01) were associated with reduced inferior whorl length (IWL) and lower FT3 was associated with reduced corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL) (p < 0.01). Triglycerides were associated with increased neuropathic symptoms (p = 0.05). All the risk factors in this study contributed to 39% of neuropathy in T2D but had a minimal impact in those without T2D.

Conclusions

This study highlights the importance of additional risk factors beyond traditional risk factors associated with peripheral neuropathy in T2D.

期刊介绍： The Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System is the official journal of the Peripheral Nerve Society. Founded in 1996, it is the scientific journal of choice for clinicians, clinical scientists and basic neuroscientists interested in all aspects of biology and clinical research of peripheral nervous system disorders. The Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes high quality articles on cell and molecular biology, genomics, neuropathic pain, clinical research, trials, and unique case reports on inherited and acquired peripheral neuropathies. Original articles are organized according to the topic in one of four specific areas: Mechanisms of Disease, Genetics, Clinical Research, and Clinical Trials. The journal also publishes regular review papers on hot topics and Special Issues on basic, clinical, or assembled research in the field of peripheral nervous system disorders. Authors interested in contributing a review-type article or a Special Issue should contact the Editorial Office to discuss the scope of the proposed article with the Editor-in-Chief.
