Relationship between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level and carotid atherosclerosis plaque in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D 3 level and carotid atherosclerosis plaque in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes .Methods 308 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were selected .The carotid artery intimal plaque was measured .According to the characteristics and size of plaque ,they were divided into the medium/big group,small plaque group and no plaque group .Blood pressure,body mass index (BMI),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),blood lipids,c-reactive protein(CRP)and the concentration of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D 3 were detected .The risk factors forcarotid atherosclerosis plaque were analyzed,exploring the the relationship between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level and carotid atherosclerosis plaque . Results Age,CRP(4.21 ±1.61) mg/L in the medium/big group was significantly higher than those of the small plaque group(3.41 ±1.92)mg/L and the no plaque group(2.52 ±1.18)mg/L(t=1.96,3.14,all P<0.05).The level of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 in the medium/big group(15.28 ±5.86)nmol/L was significantly less than that of the small plaque group(24.30 ±7.60)nmol/L and the no plaque group(32.74 ±8.13)nmol/L(t=4.67,3.41,all P<0.01).The level of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 in the small plaque group was significantly less than that of the no plaque group(t=2.51,P<0.05).There was positive correlation between carotid atherosclerotic plaques and age , BMI,HbA1c,CRP and LDL-C( r=0.45,0.38,0.53,0.47,all P<0.05).There was negtive correlation between carotid atherosclerotic plaques and 25-hydroxy vitamin D3(r=-0.62,P<0.05).Logstic regression analysis showed that age,BMI,HbA1c,CRP,LDL-C and 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 were independent risk factors for the development of carotid atherosclerotic plaque .Conclusion The risk factors for carotid atherosclerotic plaques in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes are age,BMI,HbA1c,CRP,LDL-C and 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 concentration.25-hydroxy vitamin D3 may be a predictor of carotid atherosclerotic plaques .
