The Age-Specific Association of Waist Circumference and Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Shandong, China

Figure 2

Effect of waist circumference on chronic kidney disease risk by age. We compared the CKD risk for those having WC = 120 cm with those having WC = 90 cm. The -axis represents the age of the T2D patients, and the -axis represents the estimated probability of CKD risk. The solid lines represent the estimated probabilities, the dashed line corresponds to age = 45 and age = 80, respectively, and the shaded areas represent the corresponding confidence intervals. WC: waist circumference; CKD: chronic kidney disease; T2D: type 2 diabetes.
