| Adjusted model 1 | |||
| Albumin | 0.71 | (0.56, 0.90) | 0.005 |
| Adjusted model 2 | |||
| Albumin | 0.77 | (0.60, 0.97) | 0.03 |

| 2-h PG | 1.38 | (1.09, 1.75) | 0.007 |
Models 1–4 are also adjusted for age, sex and American Indian heritage
Albumin, body fat percentage, M, AIR, and 2h-PG were standardized to a normal distribution with SD = 1
AIR acute insulin response, FPG fasting plasma glucose, 2h-PG 2 h plasma glucose
