Stepwise multivariate regression analyses on serum GA.

Model 1: Age, BMI, W, FPG, 2hPG, ALB, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, SBP, DBP, CRP, smoking, anti-hypertensive therapy, lipid-lowering therapy.Model 2: Age, BMI, W, %fat, SFA, VFA, FPG, 2hPG, ALB, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, SBP, DBP, CRP, smoking, anti-hypertensive therapy, lipid-lowering therapy.Model 3: Age, BMI, W, fat mass, FFM, SFA, VFA, FPG, 2hPG, ALB,TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, SBP, DBP, CRP, smoking, anti-hypertensive therapy, lipid-lowering therapy.Abbreviations: ALB, albumin; aGA, absolute value of GA; CRP, C-reactive protein; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FFM, free fat mass; FPG, fast plasma glucose; GA, glycated albumin; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SFA, subcutaneous fat area; SBP, Systolic blood pressure; TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; VFA, visceral fat area; W, waist circumference; 2hPG, 2-h post-OGTT plasma glucose.
