Covariance in adjusted model 1 includes age, body mass index, smoking status, and physical activity. Covariance in adjusted model 2 includes age, body mass index, smoking status, physical activity, cardiovascular disease, and UAER. Covariance in adjusted model 3 includes age, body mass index, smoking status, physical activity, cardiovascular disease, UAER, and eGFR. M, glucose disposal rate.
