However, the optimal body mass index (BMI) for survival may be influenced by the stage of diabetes. We examined the relationship between BMI and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and the influence of diabetic retinopathy (DR).Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort composing patients with type 2 diabetes who were admitted due to poor glucose control. Presence of DR was confirmed by ophthalmologists. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. The association between BMI and mortality was assessed using a Cox proportional hazards model with adjustment for age, sex, and traditional risk factors.Results: A total of 2053 patients were enrolled. Over median follow-up of 6.7 years, there were 1060 deaths. Patients were classified into five categories based on admission BMI (kg/m2): < 18.5, 18.5‒23, 23‒25, 25‒27 (reference), 25‒30 and > 30. Mortality risk was significantly higher in the < 18.5 kg/m2, 18.5– 23 kg/m2, and 23– 25 kg/m2 categories than in the reference category (P < 0.001). The similar obesity paradox was observed in the subgroup of patients without DR. However, in patients with DR, only patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2 had significantly increased mortality than those in the reference category. The presence of DR significantly modified the shape of the association between BMI and mortality (P = 0.019).Conclusion: The obesity paradox exists in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The presence of DR appears to significantly influence the shape of the association between BMI and mortality.Keywords: cohort, inpatient, obesity, paradox, overweight, retrospectiveLi YHSheu WHHLee ITDove Medical PressarticlecohortinpatientobesityparadoxoverweightretrospectiveSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 907-914 (2020) |
