Multivariable logistic regression analysis of the factors associated with aortic stiffness among the 140 type 2 diabetic mellitus patients.
| Variables | Odds Ratio | 95% Confidence Interval | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adiponectin (μg/mL) | 0.922 | 0.876–0.970 | 0.002 * |
| Age (years) | 1.022 | 0.9782–1.067 | 0.339 |
| Body fat mass (%) | 1.030 | 0.976–1.086 | 0.279 |
| Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) | 1.018 | 0.985–1.052 | 0.288 |
| Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) | 1.003 | 0.947–1.063 | 0.912 |
| Estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min) | 0.990 | 0.972–1.010 | 0.324 |
| Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (mg/g) | 1.000 | 1.000–1.001 | 0.2212 |
| Triglyceride (mg/dL) | 0.999 | 0.993–1.005 | 0.716 |
| Insulin (uIU/mL) | 0.946 | 0.854–1.048 | 0.290 |
| HOMA-IR | 1.095 | 0.877–1.367 | 0.424 |
Data analysis was done using the multivariable logistic regression analysis (adopted factors: age, body fat mass, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, insulin levels, HOMA-IR, and adiponectin level). HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. * p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
