[A study on the risk factors of cerebral infarction as complication of type 2 diabetes mellitu patients].
OBJECTIVE
Cerebral infarction, a common acute cereovascular disease, is one of the main complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This paper is to explore the risk factors of cerebral infarction among type 2 DM patients.


METHODS
A pair-matched case-control study was carried out. Data was analyzed with conditional logistic regression.


RESULTS
One hundred and ten type 2 DM patients with cerebral infarction and controls were selected respectively. Results showed that higher educational level and physical exercises lowered the risk of cerebral infarction among type 2 DM patients. Higher HDL-C and blood sugar under control could also lower the risk of developing cerebral infarction among type 2 DM patients. The above factors seemed to have protective functions. Excessive salt intake and snoring increased the risks of cerebral infarction development among type 2 DM patients. Hypertension served as an independent risk factor while atrial fibrillation and hyperinsulinemia were important risk factors. High LDL-C, Apo-A, Lp(a), Fg increased the risk of cerebral infarction among type 2 DM patients. The study did not discover the relationship of smoking, drinking, oral contraception, menstrual and obstetrical history, TC, TG, Apo-A and cerebral infarction among type 2 DM patients.


CONCLUSIONS
To prevent cerebral infarction among type 2 DM, measures need to be taken as control of salt intake; eating more vegetables; regular physical exercises; control of blood sugar, blood pressure and Hyperinsulinemia.
