Dependent variable: Annual AL changes (mm/year), were calculated as [(the difference between the last and the first AL, mm) / (the number of days between the last and the first AL measurement)] × 365.25.
The numbers in bold denote that the association is statistically significant, P <0.05, generalized estimating equations.
AL, axial length; T1DM, type 1 diabetes mellitus; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; TG, Triglycerides; A/C ratio, albumin to creatinine ratio.
Total follow-up period, years, was calculated as [(the number of days between the last and the first AL measurement) / 365.25].
