“…López-Valverde et al reported a correlation between the ratio of ECW/ICW and mortality among patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers. 16 Nakajima et al found a correlation between the ratio of ECW/ICW and albuminuria in the T2DM population. 17 Similarly, Low et al reported that ECW/total body water (TBW) is also associated with renal health in patients with T2DM.…”

Purpose To explore the association between the water distribution in the human body and 25-hydroxyvitamin D among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to analyze whether water distribution is a mediator between vitamin D and T2DM complications. Patients and Methods In total, 533 T2DM inpatients were included from August 1, 2016 to April 1, 2023. Water distribution indicators, whether from the whole body, arms, trunk, or legs, were measured to calculate the association with vitamin D using linear regression analysis. Subgroups based on age, sex, body mass index, and macrovascular complications were established to clarify changes in the association between vitamin D and water distribution in different populations. Mediation analysis was applied to evaluate the correlation between vitamin D, water distribution, and T2DM complications. Results There was a negative correlation between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and the ratio of extracellular water (ECW)/total body water (TBW) both in the whole body ( P =0.045, β =−0.008) and in certain parts. A U-shaped restricted cubic spline curve further presented an inflection point (approximately 23 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D) in the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and the ECW/TBW of the whole body. A negative correlation was observed between ECW/TBW and vitamin D in the obese subgroup ( P =0.015, β =−0.038). In the total effect of vitamin D on diabetic nephropathy (DN), the mediation effect of ECW/TBW accounted for 15.44%. Conclusion A correlation between vitamin D and water distribution was observed, and a high ECW/TBW was one of the pathways through which low vitamin D levels might affect DN.

“…As mentioned in the introduction, existing studies have separately discussed the effects of vitamin D [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and the body water distribution [16][17][18] on T2DM complications. Based on our findings, we narrow our focus from all T2DM complications to DN.…”
