Figure 3

Cumulative survival by CAN (a) and DSPN (b) status in type 2 diabetes patients. Cox proportional hazard model adjusted for age, sex, height, BMI, current smoking, level of alcohol consumption, diabetes duration, known hypertension, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, medications, and burden of comorbidities. Curves are fitted for populations with covariates fixed to the population means. Presence of DSPN/CAN at baseline—red line. Absence of DSPN/CAN at baseline—blue line. DSPN: distal symmetric polyneuropathy; CAN: cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
