Reference model included age, sex, smoking status, BMI, hypertension, cancer, cardiovascular disease, the ratio of TC/HDL-C, eGFR, UACR, HbAc1, diabetic duration, and diabetic complications. All statistics were estimated based on the unweighted logistic regression analysis. Each additional model is compared to the reference model. AIC: Akaike information criterion; BIC: Bayesian information criterion; CRP: C-reactive protein; Hcy: homocysteine; IDI: integrated discrimination improvement; NRI: net reclassification index.
