But, the synergistical effect of visceral fat along with skeletal muscle on the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in T2DM still remains controversial. Thus, we investigated the relationship between skeletal muscle mass to visceral fat area ratio (SVR) and 10-yr CVD risk scores.Patients and Methods: A total of 291 T2DM patients aged 40– 80 years were enrolled in the current study. SVR was evaluated based on bioelectrical impedance measurements. Both Framingham risk score system and China-PAR risk model were applied to estimate future 10-yr CVD risk in T2DM population.Results: The 10-yr CVD risk scores increased with the decreased SVR tertiles in T2DM (All P< 0.001). SVR value was obviously lower in the high-risk group than that of low- or moderate-risk group (All P< 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in BMI among different CVD risk groups. Besides, SVR was correlated with Framingham risk score (r=− 0.408; P< 0.001) and China-PAR risk score (r=− 0.336; P< 0.001). HOMA-IR, triglycerides and blood pressure were also inversely related to SVR (All P< 0.05). Furthermore, SVR value was independently correlated with both Framingham 10-yr CVD risk score (β=− 0.074, P=0.047) and China-PAR risk score (β=− 0.100, P=0.004) after adjustment for confounding factors, including age, gender, BMI, FPG, HbA1c, diabetes duration, albumin, creatinine, uric acid, smoking, blood pressure and blood lipid. The linear regression analysis was also conducted for men and women, respectively, indicating that the negative relationship between SVR and 10-yr CVD risk was observed in men but not in women.Conclusion: T2DM populations who have lower SVR value are more likely to increase CVD risk. SVR levels show marked and inverse correlation with estimated 10-yr CVD risk in T2DM, indicating that SVR could be a valuable parameter to assess the risk of CVD events in clinical practice, especially in men.Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, skeletal muscle mass to visceral fat area ratio, risk assessment |
