Abstract
Objective
Remnant cholesterol is an emerging cardiovascular risk factor; however, its impact on diabetes foot disease (DFD) remains poorly studied. This study evaluates the association between dyslipidaemia and DFD in a cohort of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods
A nested case–control study was conducted within a cohort of 419 individuals with T1D. DFD was defined as a history of peripheral arterial disease—such as prior lower limb revascularization or vascular-origin amputations—or as the presence of diabetic foot according to the Wagner classification. Clinical and sociodemographic data were collected, and a 1:2 propensity score matching was performed based on age, sex, diabetes duration, smoking status, HbA1c, diabetic retinopathy, and nephropathy. Conditional logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between dyslipidemia and DFD, adjusting for confounding variables.
Results
Of the 419 subjects, 56 (13.4 %) had DFD. After matching, 17 subjects were excluded, leaving 39 cases and 78 controls (n = 117). The mean age was 61.6 ± 14.3 years, 40.2 % were women, and the mean diabetes duration was 30.0 ± 14.4 years. Remnant cholesterol was significantly higher in cases (22 ± 10 mg/dL vs. 17 ± 11 mg/dL, p = 0.038), as were triglycerides (111 ± 49 mg/dL vs. 90 ± 65 mg/dL, p = 0.005). In multivariable analysis, remnant cholesterol (OR = 1.15, 95 % CI [1.03–1.27]) and triglycerides (OR = 1.03, 95 % CI [1.01–1.05]) were independently associated with DFD.
Conclusion
Remnant cholesterol and triglycerides are associated with DFD in individuals with long-standing T1D and high cardiovascular risk. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications (JDC) is a journal for health care practitioners and researchers, that publishes original research about the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications. JDC also publishes articles on physiological and molecular aspects of glucose homeostasis.
The primary purpose of JDC is to act as a source of information usable by diabetes practitioners and researchers to increase their knowledge about mechanisms of diabetes and complications development, and promote better management of people with diabetes who are at risk for those complications.
Manuscripts submitted to JDC can report any aspect of basic, translational or clinical research as well as epidemiology. Topics can range broadly from early prediabetes to late-stage complicated diabetes. Topics relevant to basic/translational reports include pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, altered adipose tissue function in diabetes, altered neuronal control of glucose homeostasis and mechanisms of drug action. Topics relevant to diabetic complications include diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy; peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal disorders, renal failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
