Figure 2
Age and BMI adjusted geometric means of ghrelin level and their effect on HbA1C. (a) Age and BMI adjusted ghrelin levels according to tertiles of HbA1C ( < 5.3, 5.3 ≤ ≤ 6.0, and > 6.0) showing association between decreasing level of HbA1C and decreasing ghrelin level in males (-trend = 0.0205). (b) Age and BMI adjusted ghrelin levels according to tertiles of HbA1C showing weak but not significant decrease in HbA1C as ghrelin level decreases in females (-trend = 0.0659).
