In the multivariate analysis, to calculate the likelihood of having diabetes adjusted by abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, and coffee and red wine intake (logistic regression, Table 4), subjects with serum values of sCD163 in tertile 3 had twice the risk of diabetes compared with subjects with serum values in the lower tertile 1 (P for trend ≤0.0001). Here, CD163 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
