| Skeletal muscle index (kg/m2) | −0.795 (−0.177, −0.154) | <0.001 |
| HbA1c (mmol/mol) | 0.006 (−0.211, 0.239) | 0.906 |
| Creatinine (μmol/L) | 0.088 (−0.006, 0.181) | 0.067 |
| Logarithm of urinary ACR | 0.118 (0.007, 0.061) | 0.015 |
| Duration of diabetes | 0.211 (0.241, 0.617) | <0.001 |
Examination with the adjusted extracellular water (ECW), calculated by ECW divided by body surface area of each participant, instead of the measured ECW. To investigate the relationships between the ECW‐to‐intracellular water (ECW/ICW) ratio adjusted by body surface area and logarithm of the albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio (ACR) or other factors, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was carried out.
