Associations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) with coronary heart disease (CHD) in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Restricted cubic splines were used to assess the dose–response associations of DHEA (A) and DHEAS (B) with CHD after adjusting for age, current smoking, current drinking, insurance type, body mass index (BMI), duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure (SBP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and the use of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists or sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. The p-values for nonlinear associations were 0.969 and 0.942 for DHEA and DHEAS, respectively.
