Abstract
CONTEXT: The interplay between cardiovascular health metrics (CVHMs) and microvascular disease (MVD) in relation to the risk of incident coronary heart disease (CHD) among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains to be evaluated.</p>
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of MVD and CVHMs in the development of CHD among T2DM.</p>
DESIGN: We included 19,664 participants with T2DM from the UK Biobank who had data on CVH metrics (CVHMs) and were free of CHD during recruitment. CVHMs were defined based on five behavioral (body mass index, diet, sleep duration, smoking, and regular exercise) and three biological factors (glycemic control, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension). MVD was defined as the presence of retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic kidney disease. HR and 95% CI of CHD were estimated by multivariable Cox regression models.</p>
RESULTS: There were 3,252 incident cases of CHD recorded after a median follow-up of 12.3 years. After multivariable adjustment, each MVD was separately associated with risk of CHD, and those who had 1 or ≥2 MVD had a 27% and an 87% increased risk of developing CHD, respectively. Each of the unfavorable CVHMs was associated with a higher risk of CHD. As compared with MVD-free participants who had ideal CVHMs, those who had ≥2 MVD and had poor CVHMs were at particularly high risk of incident CHD (HR=4.58; 95% CI: 3.58, 5.86), similarly when considering behavioral CVH or biological CVH separately. On an additive scale, there was a positive statistically significant interaction between number of MVD and CVHMs.</p>
CONCLUSIONS: Coexistence of multiple MVDs was associated with a substantially higher risk of CHD among individuals with T2DM. Such an association may be amplified by unfavorable CVHMs.</p>
