3.4 Subgroup analyses of HOMA-IR with risk of CKD
As shown in Figure 3, multivariate analyses of subgroups indicated that the association of baseline HOMA-IR with the development of CKD was different in different subgroups. Significant difference of such relationship was detected in subjects with age < 58 years, women subjects, those BMI in normal range, those with diabetes and those without hypertension.
