Abstract:

Objective To explore the characteristics of cognitive function and corresponding factors in young and middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods A total of 364 young and middle-aged T2DM patients with OSAHS hospitalized in the Endocrine Metabolism Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled, and the patients were allocated to the cognitive impairment (CI) group ( n=187) and normal cognitive (NC) group ( n=177) based on Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III) in Chinese version. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the independent factors of cognitive dysfunction in middle-aged and young T2DM patients with OSAHS. Two-way ANOVA of body mass indexes (BMI) and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) on ACE-Ⅲ scores were performed. Results The 187 (51.4%) patients had CI. The total score of ACE -Ⅲ and five cognitive dimensions in CI group were lower than those in NC group ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that education years, AHI, BMI and oxygen desaturation index were independent risk factors for CI (all P<0.05). The ACE-Ⅲ scores difference between different BMI groups were statistically significant regardless of the AHI ( F=9.732, P=0.000). ACE-Ⅲ scores of patients with different AHI decreased gradually increase in BMI, and the interaction effects of BMI and AHI on ACE-Ⅲ score were insignificant ( F=1.198, P=0.311). Conclusion The incidence of CI in middle-aged and young patients with T2DM and OSAHS is higher, BMI, AHI, oxygen desaturation index, as well as education years may be risk factors for CI in the population.
