Figure 1. Adjusted standardized associations between metabolic components and albumin-corrected calcium.

Only non-conventional metabolic syndrome components that were associated with albumin-corrected calcium in adjusted quintiles analyses: fat mass, LDL-chol, LDL size, insulin, adiponectin, uric acid, homocysteine, and GGT). Age, sex, smoking, alcohol, menopausal status, eGFR and thiazide use were used as covariates in the models. * = P value<0.05 for adjusted conventional cardio-metabolic risk factors. # = P value<0.05 for adjusted non-conventional cardio-metabolic risk factors (not adjusted for conventional factors). & = P value<0.05 for adjusted non-conventional metabolic syndrome components (adjusted for conventional components).
