Associations were assessed in a linear regression model adjusting for age, sex and BMI (except for analysis of BMI itself). HOMA-IR was calculated as published by Matthews et al. [35]. The Stumvoll Index refers to Stumvoll ISI(0 and 120 min) and Stumvoll ISI(0 and 30 min) [36]. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated using the MDRD formula. ß Beta coefficient of linear regression model.
