; #. AHI was log-transformed. For BFP and VAT area, model 1 without adjustment and model 2 was further adjusted for gender, T2DM duration, regular drinking, current smoking, and hypertension. Model 3 was further adjusted for BMI, HbA1c, TG, LDL-c, and HDL-c. For CVAI, model 1 without adjustment and model 2 was further adjusted for gender, T2DM duration, regular drinking, current smoking, and hypertension. Model 3 was further adjusted for HbA1c and LDL-c. Abbreviations: T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus; OSA: obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; DM: diabetes mellitus; BMI: body mass index; WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; TG: triglycerides; TC: total cholesterol; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; BFP: body fat percentage; BFP: body fat percentage; VAT: visceral adipose tissue; CVAI: Chinese visceral adiposity index; AHI: apnea-hypopnea index.
