Vitamin D and diabetic peripheral neuropathy: A multi-centre nerve conduction study among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes
Increasing numbers of reports link vitamin D deficiency to diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), yet evidence regarding neurological deficits and electromyogram is scarce. The present multi-centre study sought to investigate these associations based on objective quantifications. Information on DPN-r...

Summary: | Increasing numbers of reports link vitamin D deficiency to diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), yet evidence regarding neurological deficits and electromyogram is scarce. The present multi-centre study sought to investigate these associations based on objective quantifications.
Information on DPN-related symptoms, signs, all diabetic microvascular complications, and nerve conduction abilities (quantified by nerve conduction amplitude and velocity, F-wave minimum latency (FML) of peripheral nerves) were collected from a derivation cohort of 1192 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Correlation, regression analysis, and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to explore linear and non-linear relationships between vitamin D and DPN, which were validated in an external cohort of 223 patients.
Patients with DPN showed lower levels of vitamin D than those without DPN; patients with vitamin D deficiency ( |
