DM-AA score and risk of moderate-to-severe atherosclerosis at baseline examination

	DM-AA scorea	P-values
DM-AA score as a continuous variable
Per SD increment	1.41 (1.13–1.76)	0.002
Metabolite as a categorical variable
First quartile	1.0 (referent)
Second quartile	1.14 (0.66–1.96)	0.631
Third quartile	1.68 (0.97–2.94)	0.067
Fourth quartile	2.62 (1.43–4.81)	0.002
P-value for trend	0.001

Values are odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for prevalent moderate-to-severe atherosclerosis adjusted for age, sex, smoking, SBP, AHT, LDL, HDL, diabetes status at baseline examination, BMI, log(HOMA), log(triglycerides), and log(C-reactive protein).

n = 564.

Values of DM-AA score within quartiles [mean (SD)]: q1: −1.27 (0.59), q2: −0.30 (0.18), q3: 0.34 (0.19), and q4: 1.23 (0.51).

^aScore of isoleucine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine.
