After the initial univariate linear regression analysis to select variables from factors including albumin-adjusted serum calcium, uric acid, the use of ACEI or ARB medication, age, gender, smoking, HbA1c, obesity, HOMA-IR, phosphate, creatinine, albumin, Alb/Cr, SBP, DBP, and dyslipidemia, the stepwise multiple linear regression (Table 4) showed that higher LVMI was associated with albumin-adjusted serum calcium, Alb/Cr, creatinine, obesity, serum albumin and dyslipidemia. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and obesity disorder.
