Obesity, clinical, and genetic predictors for glycemic progression in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes: A cohort study using the Hong Kong Diabetes Register and Hong Kong Diabetes Biobank
Fig 1
HRs of BMI as a continuous variable and glycemic progression.
The dashed line is the reference line at HR = 1. The solid curve and the shaded areas stand for the HRs and their 95% CIs for glycemic progression, respectively. HRs were adjusted for age at diagnosis, gender, duration of diabetes, year of diagnosis, smoking status, LDL-C, HbA1c, log triglyceride, log urinary ACR, eGFR, retinopathy, sensory neuropathy, history of chronic kidney disease, and use of different medications (yes/no). ACR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HR, hazard ratio; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
