Data are odds ratio (95% confidential intervals) as Model 2 in Table 4 corrected for age (years), sex, diabetes duration (years), HbA1c (%), and eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m2).

GNRI, geriatric nutritional risk index; CONUT, controlling nutritional status; P, provability; SMI, skeletal mass index; BMI, skeletal mass index.
