Metabolic risk factors for the conversions between different glycemic statuses. NGT, pre-DM, and DM were the three categories of glycemic status; arrows represent the directions of conversion between different glycemic statuses; factors on each arrow were the independent predictors for each path calculated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. ∗Variables in the multivariate logistic regression model: sex, age, family history of diabetes, smoking, drinking, physical inactive, BMI, TC, TG, SBP, and FPG. #Variables in the model: sex, age, family history of diabetes, smoking, drinking, physical inactive, BMI, TC, TG, SBP, and categories of pre-DM (i-IFG, i-IGT, and IFG-IGT). FPG or different categories of pre-DM were significant independent risk factors for the conversions between different glycemic statuses (data not shown). NGT: normal glucose tolerance; pre-DM: prediabetes; DM: diabetes mellitus; BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; ORs: odds ratios of per one standard deviation (SD) unit increment in these variables.
