Abstract:Objestive To explore the factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with hyperuricemia in young people to provide a reference for prophylaxis and treatment of the disease. Methods A total of 319 patients (aged 20 to 45 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with hyperuricemia in this hospital from January 2013 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: hyperuricemia (HUA) group (n?=?156) and non-hyperuricemia (NUA) group (n?=?163), according to the diagnostic criteria of hyperuricemia. The general condition and clinical data in two groups was analyzed. The Logistic regress analysis was performed to explore the risk factors. Results Compared with NUA group, BMI, TG, UA, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, FINS, HOMA-IR, Scr, GHb, the prevalence of metabolic diseases (hypertension, metabolic syndrome and overweight and/or obesity), and the composition ratio of patients with poor sleep quality were increased significantly in HUA group (P?0.05). The correlation coefficients of UA with TG and Scr were 0.165 and 0.698 (P?0.05), suggesting positive relations. The logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension [OlR?=?2.584 (95% CI: 1.233, 5.414)], metabolic syndrome [OlR = 6.751 (95% CI: 3.514, 12.968)] and poor sleep quality [OlR?= 2.229 (95% CI: 1.290, 3.851)] were identified as risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with hyperuricemia in young people. Conclusions Young type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hyperuricemia may be closely related to metabolic diseases and poor sleep quality.
