AI Article Synopsis
- * The research included 1,429 T2DM patients, with findings showing that CCR is a significant predictor of carotid plaque, particularly in men and those under 65 years old.
- * Results indicated that lower CCR levels correspond to a higher risk of carotid plaque, highlighting CCR as an independent risk factor for this condition in specific demographic groups.
Article Abstract
We investigated the effect of sex and age on the association between serum creatinine/cystatin C (CCR) ratio and carotid plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The carotid plaque group and the non-plaque group were divided according to cervical vascular ultrasound; the general and biochemical data of the two groups were compared according to CCR, gender, and age. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing carotid plaque. A total of 1429 patients with T2DM were included in this study. On multivariate analysis, CCR was an independent predictor of carotid plaque with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.681 [1.250-2.260]. The risk of carotid plaque in men with T2DM increased significantly ( < .05) with decreasing levels of CCR. In addition, an association between CCR and carotid plaque was found in individuals with T2DM <65 years of age ( < .05). CCR is strongly associated with the risk of carotid plaques in persons with T2DM and are an independent risk factor for carotid plaques in men and people aged <65 years with T2DM.
