Correlation between OSAHS and Early Peripheral Atherosclerosis Indices in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in China: A Cross-Sectional Inpatient Study

Table 3

Multiple stepwise linear regression results between AHI level with ABI and PWV.

	ABI			PWV
Index	βst			βst
Model 1
AHI	0.01	5.34		26.26	6.46
Model 2
AHI	0.01	5.15		27.24	6.16
Model 3
AHI	0.01	5.19		26.92	5.68

Model 2 is adjusted for age, gender, and BMI; model 3 is adjusted for age, gender, diabetic duration, BMI, blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipid, and UA. Abbreviations: ABI: ankle-brachial index; PWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; AHI: apnea-hypopnea index.
