Association between serum adiponectin levels and eGFR, considered as a continuous trait.

SGR: San Giovanni Rotondo; FG: Foggia. p value obtained from lnGFR. The β linear coefficients represent the change in eGFR level (ml/min/1.73m2) for 1.SD increase in adiponectin. SE: standard error. Model 1: unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted by sex, smoking habits, BMI, waist circumference, diabetes duration, HbA1c, ACR and anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hypertensive and anti-dyslipidemic treatments. *Since the effect in SGR tended to be different than that in FG sample (p for β values heterogeneity being = 0.15), individual data meta-analysis was carried out in a conservative fashion by using random effects. Pooled analysis were adjusted by study sample. Association between serum adiponectin levels and eGFR, considered as a continuous trait.
