OR = odds ratio; 95%CI = 95% confidence interval; PSC = posterior sub-capsular cataract. Asterisk indicates statistical significance in multivariate model (p<0.05).
a
: Multivariate logistic model adjusted for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), triglyceride, education, income, and housing type.
b
: Multivariate logistic model adjusted for age, gender, BMI, SBP, DBP, duration of diabetes, hba1c level, education, income, and housing type.
c
: Multivariate logistic model adjusted for age, gender, BMI, duration of diabetes, hba1c level, education, income, and housing type.
