Linear associations and Pearson’s correlation coefficients between markers of glycemia and plasma lactate

	Lactate, mmol/L (n=159)
	r	β	P value*
Serum fasting glucose, mg/dL	0.19	0.008	0.01
Serum 2-hour glucose, mg/dL	0.19	0.003	0.005
Serum fasting insulin, μU/mL	0.33	0.03	<0.001
Serum 2-hour insulin, μU/mL	0.18	0.002	0.02
Homeostasis model assessment, units	0.33	0.11	<0.001

*P value for ordinary least squares coefficient (β) adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity.

β, beta coefficient; r, Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
