Factor analysis of metabolic patterns in association with LVDD progression. BMI: body mass index; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; FPI: fasting plasma insulin; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LVDD: left ventricular diastolic dysfunction; PCA: principal component analysis; PPG: postprandial plasma glucose (2 hours); PPI: postprandial plasma insulin (2 hours); TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; SUA: serum uric acid.
