The hypertriglyceridaemic-waist phenotype in relation to carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Among 2625 patients with type 2 diabetes,body mass index,systolic blood pressure,HbA1C,triglyceride,ApoB,serum uric acid,highly-sensitive C reactive protein,tumor necrosis factor α levels,and common carotid artery intima-media thickness in hypertriglyceridemic-waist ( HTWC ) phenotype group were higher than those in non-HTWC group,while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and ApoA1 levels were lower( all P＜0.05 ).HTWC phenotype was an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis of carotid artery in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 1.45,95％CI 1.07-1.96).
