Sumario:OBJECTIVE: The purposes of current research were to investigate the time-dependent dynamic alteration of white cell count (WCC) in health management populations and to analyse its association with the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort research. SETTING: Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University in China’s Shenyang. PARTICIPANTS: The number of non-diabetic subjects (median age: 40 years) totaled 7924 in the present work. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Assessment and grouping of changes in WCC between 2016 and 2019 were accomplished through group-based trajectory modelling. Newly diagnosed incidence associated with T2DM was estimated based on varying trajectories of WCC by the Kaplan-Meier method. Statistical differences in the incidences of new-onset T2DM among various WCC trajectory groups were examined through log-rank test. The influence of WCC trajectory alterations on the new-onset T2DM was evaluated with a multiparameter Cox (proportional-hazards) model. RESULTS: During a 3-year (2016–2019) period, the T2DM development was noted in 3.14% (249) of the subjects. The trajectory model of WCC change was divided into four groups. For participants with low stability (trajectory 1), medium stability (trajectory 2), medium stability (trajectory 3) and high stability (trajectory 4), the incidence of T2DM was separately 2.2%, 2.62%, 4.82% and 7.4%, respectively. After adjusting for the underlying confounders, new-onset T2DM HRs (95% CIs) for trajectories 3 and 4 were separately 1.94 (1.32 to 2.83) and 3.08 (1.82 to 5.21) compared with the trajectory 1, implying that the T2DM risks were statistically significantly high. CONCLUSION: The 3-year T2DM incidence was impacted independently by the WCC trajectory fluctuations. The grouping trajectory can reflect the dynamic change of WCC over time, which is more representative than the measured WCC at a single time point.
