Association between serum uric acid and phase angle in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional
1Department of Clinical Nutrition, Affiliated Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University, Nanjing, China.
Background:
The purpose of this analysis was to investigate the associations between serum uric acid and phase angle in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods:
In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we included 200 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients treated during 2018-2019 at Zhongda Hospital Southeast University. Phase angle (PhA) and other body composition indicators were measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). All patients underwent routine clinical examinations on the day of hospitalization, and the basic information and clinical symptoms of these patients were recorded.
Results:
Serum uric acid (UA) was significantly associated with PhA (p <0.001). Overall, in the crude model and minor, all adjusted models (crude model, Models I-II), the phase angle increased as the tertiles of serum uric acid increased. In the minor adjusted model (Model I, adjustment for age and duration) fully adjusted model (Model II, adjustment for age, duration, Lpa, BMI, and WHR), the adjusted β for participants in tertiles of serum uric acid were 0.26 (95% CI: 0.05-0.46) and 0.32 (95% CI: 0.11-0.54), respectively, compared with those in the lowest tertile 1.
Conclusion:
There was a nonlinear relationship between serum uric acid and PhA in T2DM patients, and the phase angle increased as uric acid increased within a certain range, and this effect disappeared when uric acid exceeded a certain value.
