CTRP9: C1q/TNF-α related protein-9, HMW-ADPN: high-molecular-weight adiponectin, LMW-ADPN: low-molecular-weight adiponectin, ACAI: aortic calcification area index, HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, BMI: body mass index. Explanatory variables: age at transplantation (year), sex, HDL-C (mg/dL), duration after transplantation (year), and change in HMW-ADPN (μg/mL/year). According to multivariate regression analysis.
