| Variables | NT-proBNP | p |
|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 0.23 | 0.035 |
| WC (cm) | 0.03 | 0.807 |
| BMI (kg/m2) | −0.05 | 0.674 |

| Insulin | −0.19 | 0.099 |
BMI: body mass index; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment (estimated insulin resistance); NT-proBNP: amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; SBP: systolic blood pressure; WC: waist circumference; WHR: waist/hip ratio.
