ORs (95% CI) for incident pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes (vs non-progressors to pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes from normal glucose tolerance) and incident type 2 diabetes (vs non-progressors to type 2 diabetes from normal glucose tolerance or pre-diabetes) per SD increase of active plasma renin concentration, aldosterone and ARR

  • Significance level after correction for multiple testing using the Bonferroni method (p<0.008 (0.05 ÷ 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.
