Participants were divided into a DFU group (n\u2009=\u200987) and a non-DFU group (n\u2009=\u2009348) based on DFU status. Baseline, clinical, and biochemical data were collected. Using R 4.3.1, 70% of data were randomly assigned as training set and 30% as test set. Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses identified factors influencing DFU. Models included regression, gradient boosting, and random forests. Their predictive ability was evaluated by AUC. A separate validation set of 287 T2DM patients from January to December 2025 was also included.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In the training set, the DFU group exhibited significantly higher proportions of males, higher body mass index, higher prevalence of smoking history, and higher GPR and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels than the non-DFU group (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.05). Logistic regression analysis identified sex, smoking history, GPR, HbA1c, and LDL as independent risk factors for DFU in T2DM patients. The AUCs for training were 0.797, 0.889, and 0.926 for the nomogram, gradient boosting, and random forest models, respectively, with test set AUCs of 0.825, 0.811, and 0.817.
