Factors influencing accelerated aging in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease
Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the factors influencing accelerated aging in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary heart disease (CHD).MethodsA total of 216 patients diagnosed with T2DM and CHD between August 2019 and August 2023 at Xuzhou Central Hospital were selected. Patients were divided into an aging group and a non-aging group, based on the positive or negative values of phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel). Logistic regression analysis was conducted. Variables that had a univariate analysis P< 0.05 were included in the multivariate analysis to identify factors influencing aging in patients with T2DM and CHD, and the area under the curve of the model was reported.ResultsThis study included 216 patients, with 89 in the accelerated aging group, and 127 in the non-accelerated aging group. The average age of patients was 70.40 (95% CI: 69.10-71.69) years, with 137 males (63.4%). Compared with the non-accelerated aging group, patients in the accelerated aging group were older, with a higher proportion of males, and a higher prevalence of hypertension, stable angina pectoris, and unstable angina pectoris. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that the absolute value of neutrophils (NEUT#), urea (UREA), adenosine deaminase (ADA), and the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) were risk factors for accelerated aging, while cholinesterase (CHE) was a protective factor. For each unit increase in NEUT#, UREA, ADA, and TyG, the risk of aging increased by 64%, 48%, 10%, and 789%, respectively. The overall area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the model in the training set was 0.894, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.851-0.938.ConclusionNEUT#, CHE, UREA, ADA, and TyG are predictors of accelerated aging in patients with T2DM and CHD, with the model showing favorable overall predictive performance.
