Clinical data were collected, and the China-PAR model was employed to evaluate the risk score of ASCVD within 10 years. Additionally, the correlation between FCP levels and the risk of ASCVD was analyzed.Results: As the quartiles of FCP increased, the 10-year ASCVD risk exhibited a gradual increase. The risk score in the FCP > 0.980 ng/mL group was significantly higher than that in the other groups, with noted differences related to gender and weight. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that, even after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and glycosylated hemoglobin, FCP levels remained a positive predictor of the 10-year ASCVD risk.Conclusion: High FCP levels are identified as a risk factor for ASCVD within 10 years in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM.Keywords: type 2 diabetes, fasting C-peptide, ASCVD risk
