PG - 1505-1513 LID - 10.2147/DMSO.S408637 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to propose the hyperuricemia-waist (HUAW) phenotype and investigate the relationship between the HUAW phenotype and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: We enrolled 255 patients with T2DM (165 male and 90 female) from the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao. The sleep test was performed, and serum uric acid (UA) levels and waist circumference (WC) were calculated. The HUAW phenotype was defined as serum UA concentrations >/=420 mumol/L and WC >/=90 cm (male) and >/=85 cm (female). The participants were categorized into four phenotype groups based on the mentioned cutoffs: normal WC and normal UA concentrations (group A); normal WC and elevated UA concentrations (group B); enlarged WC and normal UA concentrations (group C); and enlarged WC and elevated UA concentrations (group D). Among these participants, 17.6% were characterized by the HUAW phenotype, 80.0% had OSA, and 47.0% had moderate-to-severe OSA. The prevalence of OSA was 43.4%, 71.4%, 89.7%, and 97.8% in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. The prevalence of moderate-to-severe OSA was 7.5%, 28.6%, 56.9%, and 72.7% in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. After adjusting for age, sex, duration of diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, smoking, and drinking, the HUAW phenotype was found to be significantly associated with OSA and moderate-to-severe OSA. CONCLUSION: The present study proposed the HUAW phenotype and demonstrated that in T2DM, the HUAW phenotype was associated with OSA, especially with moderate-to-severe OSA. Unlike T2DM without the HUAW phenotype, T2DM with the HUAW phenotype showed a significantly higher prevalence of OSA, especially moderate-to-severe OSA. Thus, early sleep studies should be routinely examined in individuals with T2DM who display the HUAW phenotype. CI - (c) 2023 Lu and Yin.
