Table 5. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of the factors correlated to arterial stiffness among 112 hemodialysis patients.

Variables Odds ratio 95% confidence interval p value
Diabetes 7.17 1.39–37.00 0.019*
Body fat mass 1.16 1.02–1.33 0.027*
Hemoglobin (g/dL) 2.11 1.15–3.87 0.015*
Leptin (ng/mL) 1.09 1.04–1.14 <0.001*

Analysis data was done using the multivariate logistic regression analysis (adopted factors: diabetes, age, waist circumference, body mass index, body fat mass, hemoglobin, triglyceride, leptin, systolic and diastolic blood pressure).

*P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
