Linear regression analysis between HbA1c, FPG, and selected indicators of cardiometabolic risk factors.

Variable	HbA1c		FPG
	β	r^2	β	r^2
SBP (mmHg)	0.58	0.00	4.10	0.06
DBP (mmHg)	-0.26	0.00	2.17	0.03
HbA1dc-Dcct (%)	-	-	0.12	0.01
FPG (mmol/L)	0.07	0.01	-	-
Total cholesterol (mmol/L)	0.07	0.00	0.33	0.05
Triglyceride (mmol/L)	0.12	0.03	0.21	0.05
HDL-c (mmol/L)	0.00	0.00	0.22	0.04
LDL-c (mmol/L)	0.02	0.00	0.01	0.00
VLDL-c (mmol/L)	0.05	0.03	0.10	0.05
MetS score	0.06	0.00	0.56	0.20

Regression is significant at the 0.05 level, regression is significant at the 0.01 level, and regression is significant at the 0.001 level.
