Association of AOPPTIOC with age in nondiabetic and diabetic subjects. AOPPTIOC was measured in 37 subjects without diabetes and 50 patients with Type 2 diabetes and linear regression analyses (Pearson’s rank correlation) of AOPPTIOC versus age were performed. Both diabetic () and nondiabetic () individuals showed a significant () increase in AOPPTIOC with age. Open circles represent data from nondiabetic individuals and dashed line shows the linear trendline through the data. Grey squares represent subjects with Type 2 diabetes and the linear trendline is shown by the solid line.
