Abstract:Objective To explore the characteristics and correlation between subcutaneous fat area and fasting C peptide level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 1461 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who admitted to the Center for Endocrine Metabolism and Immune Diseases, Beijing Luhe Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2017 to November 2019 were included. They were divided into three groups according to subcutaneous fat area, namely T1 group < 173.5 cm2, 173.5 cm2 ≤T2 group < 223.5 cm2, and T3 group ≥ 223.5 cm2. There were 506 cases in T1 group, 482 cases in T2 group and 473 cases in T3 group. The clinical indicators of height, weight, waist circumference and fasting C peptide level and other related indices were compared among three groups. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between fasting C peptide level and body fat, metabolic index, and multiple regression model was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of fasting C peptide level. Results There were no statistically significant differences between three groups in the levels of gender, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterin and the indicator of estimated glomerular filtration rate (P > 0.05). Compared with T2 group, the age of T3 group was younger, with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05), while the age of T1 group and T2 group was not statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). Compared with T1 group, the indicators of body mass index, waist circumference, visceral fat area, diastolic blood pressure and uric acid were increased in T2 group and T3 group, while T3 group was higher than T2 group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Comparison of fasting C peptide levels between the three groups showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that subcutaneous fat area were positively related with fasting C peptide level (r = 0.35, P < 0.01),and the two were still positively correlated after correction of age and diabetes course (r = 0.34, P < 0.01). In multiple linear regression analysis, there was an independent positive correlation between subcutaneous fat area and fasting C-peptide level after correction for other confounding factors such as age, gender, visceral fat area, and glycosylated hemoglobin (B = 0.00, β = 0.16, P < 0.01). Conclusion In patients with type 2 diabetes, fasting C peptide level increased with the increase of subcutaneous fat area, and the two show an independent positive correlation.
