Serum Sclerostin, Body Composition, and Sarcopenia in Hemodialysis Patients with Diabetes

Table 3

Multivariate analysis showing the independent association of sclerostin with low skeletal muscle index and the presence of diabetes.

Variables	N	Serum sclerostin (pmol/L)	OR	95% CI	value
SMI
Normal	29	71.9 ± 31.0	1.000	—
Low	54	94.9 ± 40.7	1.427	1.186–1.717	<0.001
Diabetes
No	49	79.7 ± 31.2	1.000	—
Yes	34	97.2 ± 46.6	1.328	1.110–1.589	0.003

Data are expressed as mean ± SD. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; SMI, skeletal muscle mass index. OR adjusted by the effect of other confounders.
