We retrospectively analyzed data from type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, people with prediabetes and control patients without diabetes (n = 9,746). Demographic and clinical variables were evaluated using descriptive statistics and generalized linear regression. A stratified analysis based on total serum vitamin D was also carried out.
Neutrophil count was a significant predictor of 1,5-anhydroglucitol and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with prediabetes (1,5-anhydroglucitol: ß = -0.719, P < 0.001 and HbA1c: ß = -0.006, P = 0.002) and patients with diabetes (1,5-anhydroglucitol: ß = 0.207, P = 0.004 and HbA1c: ß = -0.067, P = 0.010). Lymphocyte count was a significant predictor of HbA1c in patients without diabetes (ß = 0.056, P < 0.001) and patients with prediabetes (ß = 0.038, P < 0.001). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was a significant predictor of HbA1c in patients without diabetes (ß = -0.001, P = 0.032). No immune markers differed significantly based on vitamin D level among patients without diabetes (P> 0.05 for all). Among patients with prediabetes, those who were vitamin D-deficient had the highest NLR (P = 0.040). Among patients with diabetes, those who were vitamin D-deficient had the highest neutrophil count (P = 0.001), lowest lymphocyte count (P = 0.016) and highest NLR (P < 0.001).
Conclusions
The NLR is strongly influenced by serum vitamin D level. Given the high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D and elevated NLR among chronic disease patients and the elderly, our results suggest that clinical interpretation of NLR as a predictive marker of type 2 diabetes mellitus-related inflammation should consider vitamin D level, age and pre-existing morbidity.
