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.
