Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the clinical features of subclinical hypothyr-oidism(SCH)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).MethodsThe data and the test result of 69 elderly patients with T2DM combined with SCH(the T2DM+SCH group)and 192 elderly patients with T2DM (the T2DM group)from June 2014 to June 2016 in our hospital were collected and analyzed.ResultsThere was no significant difference in gender,age and smoking history between the T2DM+SCH group and the T2DM group (P>0.05).Diabetes course,BMI,prevalence of hypertension and coronary heart disease,the level of TG,HbA1c,HDL-C and TSH in the T2DM+SCH group was significantly higher than that in the T2DM group,with significant difference (P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between FBG,TG,HbA1c to TSH respectively(P<0.05).ConclusionElderly patients with T2DM combined with SCH is more common in the clinical,the course of disease is long,the level of BMI,HbA1c,TG and other clinical indicators are relatively high,susceptible to high blood pressure,coronary heart disease and other complications.Elderly patients with T2DM screening SCH has clinical significance.
