Covariates	Standardized β	p Values
Age	0.488	<0.001
Systolic blood pressure	0.165	<0.001
eGFR	−0.157	0.003
VFA≥100 cm2 and BMI<25 kg/m2 (OB(−)VA(+))	0.184	0.001
VFA≥100 cm2 and BMI≥25 kg/m2 (OB(+)VA(+))	0.126	0.022
VFA<100 cm2 and BMI≥25 kg/m2 (OB(+)VA(−))	0.074	0.149

Covariates: age, gender, history of cardiovascular disease, systolic blood pressure, duration of diabetes, current smoking, HbA1c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, eGFR, logarithmically transformed triglycerides, C reactive protein, albuminuria, urinary C-peptide, the use of renin-angiotensin system blockers, anti-platelet agents, and statins.

BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; VFA, visceral fat area.
