Table 4.

Multivariable regression analysis with known potential modulators for weight gain ≥5 kg and change in HbA1c within the observation period in 346 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Weight gain 5 kg Change in HbA1c (mmol/mol)
OR (95% CI) p-value B (95% CI) p-value
HbA1c (mmol/mol) 1.036 (1.006; 1.068) 0.019 −0.297 (−0.375; −0.220) <0.001
Insulin substitution (yes vs. no) 0.896 (0.362; 2.222) 0.813 2.374 (0.554; 4.194) 0.011
BMI (kg/m2) 0.999 (0.914; 1.093) 0.989 −0.016 (−0.179; 0.146) 0.845
Waist-hip ratio (%) 1.064 (0.996; 1.137) 0.066 0.022 (−0.101; 0.146) 0.720
Low physical activity 1.534 (0.618; 3.807) 0.356 0.349 (−1.378; 0.190) 0.691
Apnea-hypopnea-index (/h) 0.987 (0.955; 1.021) 0.455 −0.005 (−0.071; 0.062) 0.893
PAP treatment (yes vs. no) 3.497 (1.343; 9.106) 0.010 2.410 (0.118; 4.702) 0.039

Shown are the unstandardized regression coefficients by regression analysis, 95% CI and p-values.

BMI, body-mass index; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; PAP, positive airway pressure; SDB, sleep-disordered breathing; low physical activity = exercise <3 × /wk.

The bold values are p-values < 0.05.
