COR: crude odd ratio; AOR: adjusted odd ratio; CI: confidence interval; SD: standard deviation; CV: coefficient of variation; BMI: body mass index; FPG: fasting plasma glucose. R indicates that FPG variability was removed from multiple logistic regression analysis because of significant correlation with target SD.
