Overview

Age confounds CAVI-IMT association in T2DM; leaves open CAVI's incremental value after age adjustment.

Structured PICO

Does age confound the relationship between cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

P
Population
105 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus, mean age 65.1 years old
I
Intervention
Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) measurement
O
Outcome
Mean intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery as an indicator of atherosclerotic progressionsurrogate

The relationship between CAVI and carotid IMT in patients with type 2 diabetes is strongly confounded by age, suggesting age must be considered when using CAVI to assess atherosclerotic risk.
