25(OH)D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D; GA-L, glycated albumin; RBG, random blood glucose. The levels of lipoprotein(a), 25(OH)D, GA-L, and RBG were log-transformed for the analysis. β, standardized coefficient; linear regression model was used. Model 1 was unadjusted; Model 2 was adjusted for age, PTH, season, marital status, smoking status, alcohol use behavior, insulin use, family history of diabetes, and diabetes duration; Model 3 included terms for Model 2 and BMI. ^an = 449.
