Abstract
Background
Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly impacts cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigates the role of diabetes duration in determining CVDs, including coronary artery disease (CAD), congestive heart failure (CHF), cerebrovascular disease (CVA), and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in Asian individuals with T2DM, based on 2018 data from Thai adults.
Methods
Thai adult patients with T2DM were recruited, and the duration of diabetes was stratified. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify CVD risk factors, and the final model was performed using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Result
The study comprised 34,131 participants. The final model revealed adjusted odds ratios for CAD (AOR 1.80, 95% CI: 1.38–2.34), CHF (AOR 1.81, 95% CI: 1.22–2.67), and PAD (AOR 6.47, 95% CI: 3.09–13.58) with diabetes durations exceeding 15 years. However, the association between diabetes duration and CVA showed less consistency.
Conclusion
The duration of DM is a significant determinant of cardiovascular risk, especially for conditions including CAD, CHF, and PAD, but not CVA.
