A Higher Fructose Intake Is Associated with Greater Albuminuria in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Table 5

Multiple linear regression analysis of variables associated with albuminuria in the subjects included in the study with albuminuria between 30 and 3500 mg/day (n = 86).

Variable		t	p
Constant	-857.47	-1.20	0.23
Fructose intake, g/day	13.96	2.82	0.006
BMI, kg/m^2	19.30	1.24	0.219
A1c, %	23.84	0.585	0.560
ACE inhibitor and/or ARB use	121.32	0.913	0.364
MAP, mmHg	1.842	0.349	0.728

Parameters of the model: r=0.36, r²=0.13, F=2.44, and p=0.041. BMI: body mass index, A1c: glycated hemoglobin, ACE: angiotensin converting enzyme, ARB: angiotensin receptor blocker, MAP: mean arterial pressure.
