Arterial Stiffness Is More Associated with Albuminuria than Decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The REBOUND Study

Table 4

Multivariate regression analyses with eGFR as a dependent variable and baPWV as an independent variable.

Model	All ()		Normoalbuminuria ()		Albuminuria ()
	Standard β	value	Standard β	value	Standard β	value
1	−0.220	<0.001	−0.141	<0.001	−0.245	<0.001
2	−0.071	0.001	0.025	0.357	−0.090	0.017
3	−0.013	0.620	0.011	0.736	0.013	0.769
4	−0.013	0.635	0.012	0.711	0.050	0.243

Model 1: crude; model 2: adjusted for age and sex; model 3: adjusted for significant clinical parameters including BMI, duration of diabetes, SBP, pulse pressure, heart rate, smoking, alcohol consumption, HbA1c, HDL cholesterol, hsCRP, insulin treatment, and RAS inhibitors; model 4: adjusted for ACR; ACR: albumin-to-creatinine ratio; baPWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate.
