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.
