Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes is a common endocrinologic disease among the elderly. Aging is a risk factor of adverse events in elderly with type 2 diabetes. However, there has been still lack of data about the impact of aging on adverse events in the patients. Objective: To compare clinical characteristics and 6-month all-cause hospitalization in patients with type 2 diabetes aged 60–74 and ≥75 years. Methods: From November 2023 to February 2024 at Endocrinology clinics in Thong Nhat hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, this study included older patients with type 2 diabetes who were then followed up during 6 months. Factors associated with hospitalization were determined by using logistic regression. Results: Of 595 patients included in this study, there were 435 patients aged 60–74  years (73.1%) and 160 patients aged ≥75 years (26.9%). Compared to the 60–74-year group, the ≥75-year group had significantly higher rates of hypertension and dyslipidemia. There were 85 hospitalized patients (14.3%) during 6-month follow-up. Multivariate regression analysis found that age ≥75 years was associated with increased all-cause hospitalization (OR 2.47; 95% Confidence Interval 1.53–3.99; p<0.001). Conclusion: In older patients with type 2 diabetes, our study found that patients ≥75 years of age accounted for 26.9% and had higher rates of hypertension and dyslipidemia in comparation with patients aged 60–74  years. Age ≥75 years was a factor associated with increased hospitalization in older patients with type 2 diabetes
