Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between skeletal muscle mass to visceral fat area ratio(SVR)and cardiovascular disease(CVD)risk in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 144 T2DM patients who visited the Department of Geriatrics,the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from October 2022 to December 2023 were selected to evaluate SVR based on bioelectrical impedance measurements.The risk model of prediction for ASCVD risk in China(China-PAR)was used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease in T2DM patients.Statistical analysis of the correlation between SVR and China-PAR risk scores.Results The CVD risk score of T2DM patients increased with the decrease of SVR(P＜0.001).The SVR of high-risk group patients was lower than that of low-risk group patients,and their waist circumference was higher than that of low-risk group patients,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in BMI between two groups of patients(P=0.1229).After adjusting for confounding factors,there was an independent correlation between SVR and China PAR risk scores(β=-2.744,P=0.007).Conclusion T2DM patients with lower SVR have a higher risk of developing CVD,and SVR levels are significantly negatively correlated with CVD risk in elderly T2DM patients.SVR may be a valuable parameter for assessing CVD risk in the elderly.
