ORs (95% CI) for prevalent pre-diabetes (vs normal glucose tolerance) and prevalent type 2 diabetes (vs no type 2 diabetes) per SD increase of active plasma renin concentration, aldosterone and ARR

Prevalent pre-diabetes (yes: n=488; no: n=2110)P valuePrevalent type two diabetes (yes: n=333; no: n=2598)P value
Renin1.20 (1.07 to 1.35)0.0021.25 (1.10 to 1.43)<0.001
Aldosterone1.10 (0.98 to 1.24)0.0951.04 (0.91 to 1.19)0.547

  • Bold print indicates significance after correction for multiple testing using the Bonferroni method (p<0.008 (0.05 รท 6)).

  • The logistic regression models were adjusted for sex, age, BMI, arterial hypertension, eGFR, potassium, use of ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, beta blockers, diuretics and calcium channel blockers.

  • ARR, aldosterone-to-renin ratio; BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
