Abstract
- Epidemiological evidence regarding the possible link between multiple essential metals levels and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients is sparse. Here, we aimed to evaluate the longitudinal associations between 11 essential metals levels in plasma and all-cause mortality and CVD mortality among T2D patients. Our study included 5278 T2D patients from the Dongfeng–Tongji cohort. LASSO penalized regression analysis was used to select the all-cause and CVD mortality-associated metals from 11 essential metals (iron, copper, zinc, selenium, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt, chromium, nickel, and tin) measured in plasma. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: With a median follow-up of 9.8 years, 890 deaths were documented, including 312 deaths of CVD. LASSO regression models and the multiple-metals model revealed that plasma iron and selenium were negatively associated with all-cause mortality (HR: 0.83; 95%CI: 0.70, 0.98; HR: 0.60; 95%CI: 0.46, 0.77), whereas copper was positively associated with all-cause mortality (HR: 1.60; 95%CI: 1.30, 1.97). Only plasma iron has been significantly associated with decreased risk of CVD mortality (HR: 0.61; 95%CI: 0.49, 0.78). The dose-response curves for the association between copper levels and all-cause mortality followed a J shape (Pfor nonlinear = 0.01). Our study highlights the close relationships between essential metals elements (iron, selenium, and copper) and all-cause and CVD mortality among diabetic patients.
