Odds ratio of macroalbuminuria according to the tertiles of urinary adiponectin

	Model 1		Model 2		Model 3
Adiponectin group	OR (95 % CI)	P	OR (95 % CI)	P	OR (95 % CI)	P
1st tertile	1 (Reference)		1 (Reference)		1 (Reference)
2nd tertile	3.3 (1.68–6.47)	0.001	3.9 (1.68–9.02)	0.002	4.3 (1.72–10.54)	0.002
3rd tertile	12.2 (4.95–29.93)	< 0.001	13.8 (4.77–40.21)	< 0.001	13.8 (4.34–43.62)	< 0.001

Model 1: unadjusted for any covariate

Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, dyslipidemia, smoking, exercise, diet education, statin, hemoglobin, and estimated glomerular filtration rate

Model 3: adjusted for all the covariates

OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval
