Abstract:
Objective To investigate and analyze clinical characteristics and related factors of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and frailty. Methods A total of 310 elderly patients with T2DM admitted to the hospital from January 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the research subjects. Their general information and disease-related information was collected through questionnaires. The Fried Frailty Scale was used to evaluate frailty status, and the patients were divided into frailty group and non-frailty group based on the Fried Frailty Scale score. Factors related to T2DM with frailty in the elderly were analyzed. Results The incidence of frailty in this study was 31.61% (98/310), and those without frailty accounted for 68.39% (212/310). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, body mass index (BMI), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score, number of chronic complications, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, hemoglobin level, Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) score, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, HbA1c level, SDS score, MNA-SF score, and CCI score were risk factors for frailty in elderly patients with T2DM (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of frailty is relatively high in elderly patients with T2DM. It is influenced by factors such as age , SDS score , HbA1c level , MNA-SF score and CCI score, and deserves clinical attention.
