a

Model 1 was adjusted for demographic characteristic (age, gender, body mass index, diabetes duration, education, and energy intake).

b

Model 2 was adjusted for confounders in model 1 plus hypertension and hypoglycemic agents use.

c

Model 3 was adjusted for confounders in model 1 plus hypertension, hypolipidemic, and hypoglycemic agents use.

Data were expressed as beta (SE) and P < 0.05 was considered significantly different.
