Relationship between BMI and WC changes and HF
HF, type 2 diabetes mellitus, SD, diabetes, cigarette, and alcohol
CVD, TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
The association between BMI and WC changes and the risk of HF is presented in The association of tertiles of BMI/WC change and HF risk.Model 1: age, race, sex, glycemic control strategy (intensive or standard) education status, CVD history, duration of diabetes, cigarette, and alcohol consumption.Model 2: model 2 in addition to LDL, GFR, HDL, HbA1c, SBP, BMI/WC; $ adjusted for baseline BMI, # adjusted for baseline WC, *The SD is the standard deviation of BMI or WC change per year.We visualized the non-linear association of BMI/WC changes and HF incidence by using restricted cubic splines for flexible modeling, as demonstrated in Association between body mass index (BMI)/waist circumference (WC) change and HF among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
