Regression analysis to assess the independent association of BRS (as dependant variable) with biochemical markers (as independent variables) in test group consisting of T2D patients with hypertension (n = 88)

Independent variable	Standardized regression coefficient Beta	95% confidence interval		P Value
		Upper limit	Lower limit
Multiple regression
AIP	−0.071	−6.944	3.662	0.539
TNF α	−0.297	−0.189	−0.015	0.022
OPG	−0.182	−0.018	−0.003	0.167

The p value < 0.05 was considered significant

AIP Atherogenic index of plasma, TNF α tumor necrosis factor alpha, Model adjusted for OPG Osteoprotegerin. BRS Baroreflex sensitivity

In the second line analysis was by stepwise regression where AIP and OPG are excluded in the regression model
