Adjusted mean of log-formed LVMI	Angiopoietin-2
Adjusted mean of log-formed LVMI	Quartile 1	Quartile 2	Quartile 3	Quartile 4	P-trend
Unadjusted model	2.09	2.11	2.12	2.16^{^a}	0.006
Age and sex adjusted model	2.08	2.10^-	2.12	2.16^{^a}	0.001
multivariate adjusted model	1.99	2.01	2.02	2.05^{^b}	0.04

Multivariate adjusted model: adjusted for age, sex, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, cigarette smoking, estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum hemoglobin and cholesterol levels.

^aP-value < 0.01 compared wih quartile 1, ^bP-value < 0.05 compared with quartile 1.
