Altered lncRNA profile is linked to impaired glycemic status in older adults. A: Box-and-whiskers plots of ANRIL, RNCR3, MIAT, and PLUTO in study participants of the VITA cohort with and without incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) during the 7.5-year follow-up period. Data were compared by the Mann-Whitney U test. B: Correlation matrix showing the strength of correlation between baseline variables of the study participants in the VITA cohort. ANRIL, MIAT, RNCR3, and PLUTO are correlated with each other as well as with HbA_1c and FPG. C; cholesterol; CRP, C-reactive protein; *P < 0.05.
