The impact of central obesity (WHtR) versus general obesity (BMI) on the risk of heart failure hospitalization or death
| HR (95% CI) | p value | z value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| WHtR (per 0.1) | 1.51 (1.26–1.81) | 1.11E-05 | 4.395 |
| WHtR (per 1 SD) | 1.30 (1.16–1.46) | 1.11E-05 | – |
| BMI (per 1 kg/m2) | 1.05 (1.01–1.08) | 6.65E-03 | 2.714 |
| BMI (per 1 SD) | 1.18 (1.05–1.33) | 6.65E-03 | – |
Multivariable Cox-regression model was adjusted for sex, age at onset of diabetes, duration of diabetes, glycated hemoglobin A1c, systolic blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, history of smoking, lipid-lowering, antihypertensive and antidepressant medications, DN stage and estimated glomerular filtration rate
