Serum Vaspin Concentration in Elderly Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Differing Body Mass Index: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Aims . This study was to evaluate the association of serum vaspin concentrations with body mass index (BMI) among elderly patients (>60 years old). Methods . A total of 227 elderly individuals included 76 healthy with normal glucose tolerance, which divided into normal weight control (BMI < 25, n = 38) and overweight or obese control (BMI ≥ 25, n = 38) subgroups, and 150 T2DM patients, which divided into normal weight diabetes (BMI < 25, n = 55), overweight diabetes (30 > BMI ≥ 25, n = 52), and obese diabetes (BMI ≥ 30, n = 43) subgroups. Relevant parameters were matched for age and gender ratio. Serum vaspin concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results . Serum vaspin concentration was significantly higher in the T2DM than the healthy (451.9 ± 32.6 versus 284.2 ± 21.7, P < 0.01). In the diabetic patients, the vaspin concentration was significantly higher in the obese group than the normal weight group (498.2 ± 17.1 versus 382.1 ± 21.3, P < 0.05). In addition, the concentration of vaspin in normal weight T2DM was higher than in healthy control group with normal weight (382.1 ± 21.3 versus 192.5 ± 45.2, P < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed that BMI was independent factors influencing the serum vaspin concentration in all participants. Conclusion . Vaspin may play an important compensatory role in obesity and insulin resistance in elderly people. The clinical trial registration number is ChiCTR-OPC-14005698.
