AimsWe conducted a prospective study to determine the risk factors for decrease in ABI in Chinese subjects with type 2 diabetes during a 3-year period.MethodsType 2 diabetic subjects with normal ABI were enrolled in this study. The risk factors for PVD and ABI were examined before and after the follow-up period.ResultsA total of 107 type 2 diabetic subjects completed the assessment. Based on the change of ABI, the study subjects were divided into two groups. Forty subjects, in Group 1, had a decrease in ABI; 67 subjects, in Group 2, had no decrease in ABI after the 3-year follow-up. The baseline total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio (4.5 ± 1.2 vs. 3.9 ± 1.0, P = 0.018) and serum creatinine (99.0 ± 18.0 μmol/L vs. 88.8 ± 15.7 μmol/L, P = 0.004) were significantly higher, and the HDL cholesterol concentration was significantly lower (1.11 ± 0.26 mmol/L vs. 1.27 ± 0.39 mmol/L, P = 0.011) in Group 1 than in Group 2. Furthermore, total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio was the variable showed an inverse correlation and independent predictor for the change in ABI after the 3-year follow-up.ConclusionsTotal-to-HDL cholesterol ratio is a major risk factor for PVD and showed an inverse trend to change in ABI in Asian type 2 diabetic subjects.
