Model fitting information: −2 Log likelihood=468.08 (intercept only) and 447.66 (final); χ2=20.42; p=0.03. Goodness of fit information: Pearson χ2=438.01; Pearson p value=0.41; deviance χ2=447.66; deviance p value=0.29. Neuropathy category 1: neuropathy score ≤12. Neuropathy category 2: neuropathy score 13–19. Neuropathy category 3: neuropathy score ≥19. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; DM, diabetes mellitus; FBG, fasting blood glucose; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; Ref, reference; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
