Key result
In patients with type 2 diabetes, the combination of retinopathy, waist circumference >98 cm, and HbA1c >8% was associated with a markedly increased risk of microalbuminuria (OR 13.7; 95% CI 6.8-27.6).
Cross-Sectional (n=1,557)
Yes
Odds Ratio: 13.7 (95% CI 6.8–27.6)
The likelihood of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes is strongly associated with the interaction of diabetes severity, smoking, and metabolic syndrome components like abdominal obesity and elevated blood pressure.

May aid risk stratification for microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding practice.
Rossi et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=1,557). Retinopathy, waist circumference >98 cm, and HbA1c >8% vs. Non-smokers with HbA1c <7% and waist circumference ≤102 cm was evaluated on Microalbuminuria (MAU) (OR 13.7, 95% CI 6.8-27.6). In patients with type 2 diabetes, the combination of retinopathy, waist circumference >98 cm, and HbA1c >8% was associated with a markedly increased risk of microalbuminuria (OR 13.7; 95% CI 6.8-27.6).
