Abbreviations are as in Table 3. BMI, EF, LAD, eGFR, and T-chol were subjected to analysis at 1 kg/m², 1%, 1 mm, 1 mL/min/1.73 m², and 1 mg/dL increase, respectively. Age and Glu/Tau were per 10-year and 10-nmol/mL increase, respectively. In the regression analyses, male = 1 and female = 2; absence of hypertension = 1 and presence = 2. Model 1 includes all clinical and laboratory variables in addition to Glu, but not Tau. Model 2 includes all variables in addition to Tau, but not Glu.
