FETUB and Insulin resistance: After adjusting for potential confounders (age, sex, educational level, ever smoking, ever drinking, regular physical exercise, waist, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, TG, TC, and HDL-C), increased serum fetuin-B level was significantly associated with higher risk of insulin resistance, and the adjusted OR (95%CI) of per standard deviation (SD) increase of serum fetuin-B for insulin resistance was 1.16 (1.02 to 1.32, P = .020).
