All participants with hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, or bronchopulmonary diseases were excluded. According to T2DM status and BMI levels, the subjects were divided into four groups: non-T2DM normal weight group (BMI 18.5-23.9 kg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      , n=30), non-T2DM overweight\/obese group (BMI \u226524.0 kg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      , n=31), T2DM normal weight group (n=33), and T2DM overweight\/obese group (n=34). The primary endpoint was RV free wall global longitudinal strain (RVFWS), and the secondary endpoint was the early-to-late diastolic strain rate ratio (SRe\/SRa). The sample size was calculated based on a pilot study (expected effect size =1.8, \u03b1=0.05, statistical power = 80%), with a minimum required sample size of 28 per group, which was met by the actual enrollment. 2D-STI was performed to measure longitudinal strain at the basal, mid, and apical segments of the RV free wall, and the average value was defined as RVFWS. Early diastolic strain rate (SRe) and late diastolic strain rate (SRa) were recorded, and the SRe\/SRa ratio was calculated. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare differences among groups, and multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of RV functional parameters and to test for interaction effects. Continuous variables were expressed as mean \u00b1 standard deviation, and\n                      <jats:italic>post-hoc<\/jats:italic>\n                      multiple comparisons were conducted using the least significant difference (LSD) method.

Two-way ANOVA revealed significant interactions between BMI and T2DM for both RVFWS and SRe\/SRa ratio (all P &amp;lt; 0.001). Compared with Group A, RVFWS and SRe\/SRa decreased stepwise in Group B, Group C and Group D, with the greatest decline observed in Group D. Multiple linear regression demonstrated that BMI was significantly negatively associated with RVFWS and the SRe\/SRa ratio in the overall cohort (P &amp;lt; 0.001). Full 95% confidence intervals were calculated and reported for all correlation and regression outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
