Cell contents are %differences in surrogate insulin sensitivity indices (Matsuda index or 1/HOMA-IR, modeled separately as parallel log-transformed-dependent variables) associated with CKD (estimated GFR: <60 ml·min−1·1.73m2) vs. no CKD or obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) vs. no obesity.

Estimates were derived from multivariable regression models that included SIclamp, age, sex, race, CKD, and obesity as independent variables (model 1) or these independent variables plus liver/spleen density and aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels (model 2). Thus, in model 1 assessing the Matsuda index, participants with CKD were estimated to have a mean Matsuda index that was 15% lower than those without CKD at the same SIclamp, age, sex, race, and BMI status.
