Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic-related domain burden and vascular alterations among adults with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional analysis of the Qatar Biobank
Authors' conclusion
Vascular alterations were prevalent across CKM-related domains in adults with T2D.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T2D from the Qatar Biobank
- Participants
- 5,144 adults
- Outcome
- Pulse wave velocity (PWV)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Mean pulse wave velocity (PWV)
15.06 m/s
Participants exceeding pathological arterial stiffness threshold of 10 m/s
87.8%
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Structural and Doppler outcomes by sex
- Higher in females before adjustment but reversed after multivariable adjustment, reflecting confounding by adiposity and comorbidity burden
