	Body mass index (BMI)
	Correlation test*
Diabetes duration (years)	0.136
HbA1c (%)	0.156*
Total cholesterol (mmol/L)	0.256**

**Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

*Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).

HbA₁c: glycated hemoglobin value; nephropathy: patients with type 1 diabetes on hemodialysis due to diabetic nephropathy.
