Table 4.

Associations between body composition and the prevalence of severe diabetic eye disease

Body composition OR (95%CI) z-value P-value
Visceral fat/android fat mass ratio, per 0.1 increase 1.40 (1.13-1.73) 3.1287 0.002
Android fat/appendicular lean mass ratio, per 0.1 increase 1.91 (1.05-3.47) 2.1328 0.03
Visceral fat/appendicular lean mass ratio, per 0.01 increase 1.16 (1.03-1.31) 2.4478 0.01
Visceral fat mass percentage, per 1% increase 1.80 (1.12-2.88) 2.4466 0.04
Android fat mass percentage, per 1% increase 1.28 (1.03-1.59) 2.0813 0.03
Appendicular lean mass percentage, per 1% increase 0.93 (0.84-1.02) -1.5030 0.13
Total body lean mass percentage, per 1% increase 0.97 (0.93-1.01) -1.3088 0.19
Total body fat mass percentage, per 1% increase 1.03 (0.99-1.07) 1.3010 0.19

The logistic regression model was adjusted for age at onset of diabetes, duration of diabetes, sex, glycated hemoglobin A1c, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, smoking, lipid-lowering medication, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and diabetic nephropathy stage. Appendicular means both arms and legs. The percentage of body fat and lean mass are related to total body weight.

Abbreviation: OR, odds ratio.
