Adjusted HR of microalbuminuria development in type 2 diabetic patients for overall subjects and those with good metabolic profiles at baseline. Type 2 diabetic patients with good metabolic profiles were those who had no ACEI/ARB use, BMI <24 kg/m2, triglycerides <150 mg/dL, waist circumference <80 cm (female) or <90 cm (male), HDL cholesterol >40 mg/dL (male) or >50 mg/dL (female), and blood pressure <130/80 mmHg. The controlled covariates in the survival analyses included demographics (baseline age, sex, education, smoking status, and diabetes duration) and baseline biomedical profiles (waist circumference, BMI, triglycerides, ACR, HDL cholesterol, HbA1c, and mean arterial pressure). The reference group for each model was those who were in the lowest quartile of the corresponding HOMA-IR index. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) was calculated by the formula: mean arterial pressure = diastolic blood pressure + 1/3 (systolic blood pressure – diastolic blood pressure). T2DM, type 2 diabetes. †Test for trend. *P < 0.05 in multivariable Cox proportional hazards model.
