Association between baseline sterol levels and glucose area under the curve (AUC) at the 5-year follow-up study.

Linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, BMI, smoking, physical activity and additional covariates as listed below. Individuals with previously diagnosed diabetes or with statin or ezetimibe treatment were excluded (N = 458–474). B, unstandardized beta, SE, standard error. Bold types indicate statistical significance with P≤0.006. P, unadjusted. P*, adjusted for age, BMI, smoking, and physical activity. P†, adjusted for age, BMI, smoking, physical activity and Matsuda ISI. P‡, adjusted for age, BMI, smoking, physical activity, Matsuda ISI, InsAUC0–30/GluAUC0–30, glucose AUC at baseline and total triglycerides.
