Abstract:Objective To investigate the risk factors of cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Zhuang nationality. Methods The cardiovascular complications related data of Zhuang type 2 diabetes patients hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical College and Hechi People’s Hospital from 2009 to 2018 were retrospectively collected. According to the diagnostic criteria of cardiovascular disease (CVD), subjects were divided into CVD group (n?=?628) and non-CVD group (n?=?1 942). Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of CVD risk in Zhuang type 2 diabetic patients. Results The age, duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose (FPG), postprandial two-hour blood glucose (2 hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and triglyceride (TC) were higher in the CVD group than those in the non-CVD group (P?0.05). There was no significant difference in smoking history, drinking history, and family history of cardiovascular disease between the two groups (P?>?0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age [OlR?=?1.062, (95% CI: 1.052, 1.072)], duration of diabetes [OlR?=?1.610, (95% CI: 1.450, 1.789)], 2 hPG (OlR?=?1.015, (95% CI: 1.007, 1.108)], HbA1c [OlR?=?1.225, (95% CI: 1.107, 1.345)] is risk factors for Zhuang diabetes patients with CVD; males [OlR?=?0.632, (95% CI: 0.513, 0.776)] and living in cities [OlR?=?0.547, (95% CI: 0.452, 0.661)] were protective factors for CVD. Conclusion The risk of CVD in women with type 2 diabetes is higher than that in men. Age, duration of diabetes, 2 hPG, HbA1c were positively associated with CVD risk in Zhuang patients with diabetes. Early screening of high-risk groups was beneficial to reduce the risk of CVD in patients with type 2 diabetes and reduce the mortality of patients with diabetes.
