Aims: To examine the prevalence of micro- and macrovascular complications and their associated clinical characteristics at time of type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnosis.Methods: We examined the prevalence of complications and associated clinical characteristics among 6958 newly diagnosed T2D patients enrolled in the prospective Danish Center for Strategic Research in T2D cohort during 2010-2016. We calculated age- and gender-adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) of complications using log binomial and Poisson regression.Results: In total, 35% (n = 2456) T2D patients had diabetic complications around diagnosis; 12% (n = 828) had microvascular complications, 17% (n = 1186) macrovascular complications, and 6% (n = 442) had both. HbA1c levels of were associated with microvascular complications [HbA1c 7%-8%; aPR: 135, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12-1.62] but not macrovascular complications [aPR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.76-1.08]. High C-peptide 800 pmol/L was associated with macrovascular [aPR 1.34, 95% CI: 1.00-1.80] but not microvascular [aPR 0.97, 95% CI: 0.71-1.33] complications. Macrovascular complications were associated with male sex, age > 50 years, obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol, smoking, elevated CRP levels, and anti hypertensive therapy. Microvascular complications were associated with high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, and absence of lipid-lowering therapy.Conclusions: One-third of patients with T2D had diabetes complications around time of diagnosis. Our findings suggest different pathophysiological mechanisms behind micro- and macrovascular complications. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
