  1. Apo apolipoprotein, HbA1c glycosylated hemoglobin, Q quartile. P-Diff: Multiple comparison among quartiles. Model 1 was univariate analysis. Model 2 was adjusted for sex, age. Model 3 further adjusted for BMI, education, marriage, exercise, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, hypoglycaemic agent, and lipid-lowering drugs use. aP < 0.05 compared with Q1. bP < 0.001 compared with Q1. cP < 0.001 compared with Q2. dP < 0.05 compared with Q3.
  2. Significant values are in bold.
