Association between HbA1c and increased arterial stiffness by logistic regression univariate and multivariate analysis in a Brazilian rural population
| Variable | Increased arterial stiffness | |
|---|---|---|
| OR (95 % CI), p value | ||
| Univariate | Multivariate | |
| HbA1c | 2.19 (1.81–2.65), <0.001 | 1.54 (1.01–2.17), 0.01 |
| Age | 1.13 (1.11–1.15), <0.001 | 1.14 (1.11–1.16), <0.001 |
| MBP | 1.08 (1.07–1.10), <0.001 | 1.07 (1.05–1.09), <0.001 |
| BMI | 1.02 (1.01–11.04), 0.04 | 1.01 (0.99–1.04), 0.28 |
| Fasting glucose | 1.02 (1.02–1.03), <0.001 | 0.99 (0.98–1.01), 0.54 |
| Gender (female)a | 1.47 (1.05–2.05), 0.03 | 1.01 (0.63–1.63), 0.95 |
