Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution in the progression of abnormal glucose metabolism among community population. MethodsA total of 393 community residents who participated in community diabetes screening from 2019 to 2021 and had complete physical examination data at baseline and at the 2nd year follow-up were selected. According to the results of glucose tolerance tests, community residents were divided into the abnormal glucose metabolism progression group and non-progression group, and were matched at the ratio of 1∶2 using the propensity score matching. The influencing factors related to diabetes at baseline were collected for both groups. The traditional Chinese medicine constitution was determined among population in two groups. The differences of influencing factors and traditional Chinese medicine constitution between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for the progression of abnormal glucose metabolism. ResultsFinally, 131 patients were included in the progression group and 262 patients in the non-progression group. Compared to the non-progression group, the progression group had significantly higher proportion of hyperlipidemia history , hyperglycemia history, phlegm-dampness constitution, and blood stasis constitution (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the history of hyperlipidemia (P=0.011), history of hyperglycemia (P<0.001), the family history of diabetes (P<0.001), yin-deficiency constitution (P=0.047), phlegm-dampness constitution (P=0.011) and blood-stasis constitution (P=0.008) were risk factors for the progression of abnormal glucose metabolism. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the history of hyperglycemia (P<0.001), yin-deficiency constitution (P=0.026) and blood-stasis constitution (P=0.032) were independent risk factors for the progression of abnormal glucose metabolism. ConclusionThe history of hyperglycemia, yin-deficiency constitution and blood-stasis constitution may be the risk factors for the progression of abnormal glucose metabolism.
