Abstract Introduction: The high rate of diabetes mellitus index (DM), along with the increase in cardiovascular compromise that DM favors, and the scarcity of epidemiological data regarding the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in this population, make it important to study risk factors associated with the development of PAD in the population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Objective: To estimate the prevalence of PAD together with the associated factors in a sample of patients with DM2, treated in the Family Health Strategies (FHS) program, in the municipality of Pindamonhangaba, SP. Methods: Quantitative research in a cross-sectional study of 38 individuals who were diagnosed with DM2, between 40 and 77 years old, selected by convenience sampling and treated in the family health program in two different districts of the municipality. The method consisted of the evaluation of personal and anthropometric data, anamnesis and physical examination including the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Results: PAD was present in 21.1% (95%CI: 16.9 to 25.8) of the investigated population. Risk factors observed were age range of 51 to 69 years (75%), overweight (50%), systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) (100%), smoking (62.5%) and physical inactivity (87.5%). Conclusion: The prevalence of PAD was more than a fifth of those diagnosed with DM2, and the most prevalent associated risk factors were SAH, physical inactivity, smoking and overweight with and without PAD.

Aim: Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) 2 times. PAD is diagnosed by ABI (Ankle Brachial Index). PAD increases mortality and morbidity of patient with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Type 2. This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors of PAD in the population of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.   Methods: This study was a community-based descriptive and analytic observational study that examines the prevalence and risk factors of PAD in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diagnosis of PAD was detected by ABI examination using VaSera VS-1500N. All patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Yogyakarta who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study. The research subjects were taken in multi-stage, cluster-random sampling in Yogyakarta. The patient will undergo an interview of demographic data which were assessed by one assessor.  Data from interviews and ABI examinations were analysed statistically.   Results: Two hundred and fifty-six (256) patients with type 2 DM consisted of 188 patients (73.4%) women and 68 patients (26.6%) men. Prevalence of PAD diagnosed by abnormal ABI was found in 41 (16%) of 256 patients. Subjects with age more than 67 years old was significantly associated with PAD occurrence (P=0,001) in type 2 DM population.   Conclusion: The prevalence of PAD was 16% of 256 type 2 DM patients. Age more than 67 years old was the strong risk factor of PAD in type 2 DM.   Key words: Ankle Brachial Index, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Diabetes mellitus, Prevalence, Risk Factor

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is one of the macrovascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is significant difference in the reported prevalence of PAD and its associated risk factors between Indian and Western studies. The purpose of this study was to examine the PAD complicating T2DM, in particular the influence of PAD on the risk of CAD.Methods: Randomly selected 100 T2DM patients presented to Guru Nanak Dev hospital were included. In addition to a detailed history and physical examination, anthropometric parameters like body mass index was measured. CAD in patients was diagnosed by a history of angina, ECG changes, any past history of CAD or any treatment taken for CAD. Ankle brachial index (ABI) was measured. Data was collected systematically and analyzed according to the standard statistical methods.Results: The prevalence of PAD was 15%. CAD was present in 31%. PAD was found to be significantly correlated with age, duration of diabetes, smoking, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, prevalence of BMI >25 kg/m2, HbA1c and serum HDL ≤40 mg%. Old age, high HbA1c level, and dyslipidaemia were found to be significant independent predictors of CAD.Conclusions: Using ABI authors found evidence of PAD in 15% patients of T2DM. The prevalence of CAD was higher in patients with PAD. So, there is definite and strong correlation between PAD and CAD. Thus, the early diagnosis of PAD should alert the clinician to a high probability of underlying CAD.

Objectives: To determine risk factors for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in elderly patients with Type-2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: The elderly patients with Type-2 diabetes treated in the Central Hospital of Cangzhou were enrolled and divided into PAD group and non-PAD group between October 2016 and November 2019, The data of the patients including age, gender, body mass index, blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, white cell count, lymphocyte count, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, uric acid as well as living habits and complications of Type-2 diabetes mellitus were recorded to determine the risk factors for PAD. Results: One thousand four hundred seventy six (1476) patients were enrolled, in which 465 patients were included in group of PAD, and 1011 in non-PAD group. The univariate analysis revealed that the two groups significantly differed in age (p=0.003), course of T2DM (p=0.001), hypertension (p=0.006), smoking habits (p<0.001), hyperuricemia (p<0.01), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (p<0.01), white cell count (p<0.001), lymphocyte count (p<0.001) and diabetic neuropathy (p<0.001). In the multivariate analysis, age (OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.21-1.89), smoking habit (OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.19-1.68), hypertension (OR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.15-1.98), diabetic neuropathy (OR: 3.55, 95% CI: 2.14-4.29), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (OR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.39-2.61) and hyperuricemia (OR: 2.71, 95% CI: 1.66-3.87) were significant risk factors for PAD. Conclusions: Age, smoking habit, hypertension, diabetic neuropathy, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and hyperuricemia were independent risk factors for peripheral arterial disease in elderly patients with Type-2 diabetes mellitus. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.6.2906 How to cite this:Shou Z, Zhao Y, Zhang Y, Li S.

Objective: To investigate a possible beneficial effect of strict glycaemic control on all-cause mortality in patients with peripheral arterial disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A total of 367 mainly older peripheral arterial disease patients [age: 69 (62–78) years, 34% women, Fontaine stage I–II] were categorized according to glycaemic control, that is, (a) no type 2 diabetes mellitus, (b) strict glucose control (HbA1c < 53 mmol/mol) and (c) lenient glucose control (HbA1c ⩾ 53 mmol/mol) at inclusion and by mean HbA1c over the first study year. Mortality was analysed using Kaplan–Meier and Cox-regression analyses after 7 years. Results: The combination of type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral arterial disease reduced survival from 78.8% to 68.9% in comparison to patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus ( p = 0.023). Patients with strict glucose control (75%) were associated with increased survival in comparison to patients with lenient glucose control (58.9%) stratified by mean HbA1c ( p = 0.042). Baseline cardiovascular risk factors were similar in those type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. In this peripheral arterial disease cohort HbA1c (hazard ratio: 1.3, 1.04–1.63), age (hazard ratio: 1.7, 1.3–2.3) and C-reactive protein (hazard ratio: 1.5, 1.2–2.0) remained independent associates for mortality adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes duration. Conclusion: Older patients with peripheral arterial disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus still benefit from strict glucose control in a cohort of patients with similar distribution of cardiovascular risk factors.

Aims: Increased level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is associated with an increased prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study aimed to assess the relationship between the anatomical distribution of symptomatic PAD lesions in patients with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c levels at the time of PAD diagnosis. Patients and methods: A retrospective study was conducted at King Abdullah University Hospital during the period August 2011 to December 2015. Consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes presented with symptomatic PAD confirmed by computed tomography-angiography (CTA) were included in this study. CTA images were reviewed. Relevant information including demographic data, PAD symptoms, comorbidities, HbA1c level, lipid profile, C-reactive protein and the mean platelets volume were retrieved from medical records. Results: A total of 332 patients with type 2 diabetes (255 males and 77 females) were included in this study. The mean HbA1c at the time of PAD diagnosis was 8.68% (±2.06%). The prevalence of hemodynamic relevant atherosclerotic lesions of the superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery, leg vessels, femoro-popliteal, and crural segments was significantly higher in patients with HbA1c >7.5% compared with patients with HbA1c ⩽7.5%. Conclusion: The anatomical distribution of symptomatic PAD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus differed significantly according to HbA1c level at the time of PAD diagnosis.
