BMI: body mass index (kg/m2); SBP: systolic blood pressure (mmHg); DBP: diastolic blood pressure (mmHg); PP: pulse pressure (mmHg); ABI: ankle-brachial index; TBI: toe-brachial index; FPG: fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL); HbA1c: glycosylated hemoglobin (%); TC: total cholesterol (mg/dL); TG: triglyceride (mg/dL); HDL: high-density lipoprotein (mg/dL); LDL: low-density lipoprotein (mg/dL); Cr: creatinine (mg/dL); eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate (mLmin−1per 1.73 m2); ba-PWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (m/s); SU: sulfonylurea; TZD: thiazolidinedione; ACEI: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB: angiotensin receptor blocker. The annual decline of eGFR appears to be a part of the normal physiologic process of organ senescence; we evaluated the potential risk factors after adjusting for the effect of age; OR: Odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; .
