Zusammenfassung:Aims Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among patients with diabetes. Early identification of subclinical atherosclerosis is essential for the management of diabetic patients. This study aimed to characterize serum metabolic signatures associated with carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT), a proxy of subclinical atherosclerosis, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods After 1:1 matching by sex, age, body mass index, glycated haemoglobin A 1c , and other clinical parameters, a total of 462 T2DM patients were enrolled, consisting of 231 patients with C-IMT of ≥ 1 mm (abnormal C-IMT) and 231 patients with C-IMT of
