  1. SMI skeletal muscle mass index, HbA1c hemoglobin A1c, Plt platelet, AST aspartate aminotransferase. Log-transformed values were expressed with ln at the beginning. The multiple regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors for myostatin level. Explanatory variables were determined using the stepwise method. Bold font indicates statistical significance.
