Association between urine SGU and cardio-metabolic derangements
| Variable | Per 1 unit increase of urine SGU | |
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
| Beta (95% CI) | P value | |
| Systolic BP | −1.859 (−2.327 to −1.392) | < 0.001 |
| Diastolic BP | −1.859 (−2.327 to −1.392) | < 0.001 |
| Pulse rate | −0.888 (−1.292 to −0.484) | < 0.001 |
| Waist circumference | −0.481 (−0.856 to −0.106) | 0.012 |
| Fasting glucose | 1.255 (1.208 to 1.302) | < 0.001 |
| Total cholesterol | 0.103 (0.065 to 0.142) | < 0.001 |
Beta and 95% confidence interval (CI) were analyzed using multivariate linear regression analysis with the following covariates: systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), pulse rate, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, waist circumference, age, sex, proteinuria, cardiovascular disease, smoking and drinking status, high water intake, and urine sodium and creatinine. When covariates were chosen as dependent variables, they were excluded from the model.
