Abbreviations: DR: diabetic retinopathy; NDR: non-DR; NSTDR: non-sight-threatening DR; STDR: sight-threatening DR. The fully adjusted logistic models were controlled for age, gender, BMI, current smoker, MAP, antihypertensive drugs, history of cardiovascular disease, duration of T2DM, HbA1c, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, lipid-lowering drugs, eGFR, albuminuria, uria acid, ALT, and AST. ∗ presents a p value reaching statistical significance.
