  • Model 1: Unadjusted.

  • Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, smoking and drinking status, physical activity, BMI, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, SBP, use of ACEI/ARB drugs, use of antidiabetic drugs and eGFR.

  • Model 3: *Further adjusted for HbA1c based on model 2; **further adjusted for FPG and 2 h PG based on model 2.

  • β, regression coefficient; 2 h PG, 2 h postload glucose; ACEI, ACE inhibitor; ACR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin A1c; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TG, triglyceride.
