Correlation between TNC and the other clinical indicators. (a) Positive correlation between TNC and age (r = 0.241, ). (b) Negative correlation between TNC and eGFR (r = −0.022, ). (c) Negative correlation between TNC and TC (r = −0.138, ). (d) Negative correlation between TNC and LDL-C (r = −0.136, ). (e) Positive correlation between TNC and WC (r = 0.142, ). (f) Positive correlation between TNC and WHR (r = 0.129, ). eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TNC, tenascin-C; WC, waist circumference; WHR, waist-hip ratio.
