The achievement of comprehensive control targets among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients of different ages.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate achievement of comprehensive controls among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in different age groups.

Results

The elderly patients had higher control rates for BMI (44.36%), TC (50.83%) and LDL-C (48.27%) than those aged 60-80 years and younger patients (all P <0.05). Multiple logistic regression revealed that elderly patients were more likely to achieve control targets for HbA1c (odd ratio (OR) = 2.19), TC (OR = 1.32), HDL-C (OR = 1.35), and TG (OR = 1.74) than younger patients. This effect was stronger in males (OR_HbA1c = 2.27; OR_TC = 1.41; OR_HDL-C = 1.51; OR_TG = 1.80). By contrast, elderly females were only more likely to achieve HbA1c < 7.0% (OR=1.88).
