PRAL and Insulin resistance: The results showed that highest quartile relative to the lowest quartile of PRAL and NEAP scores were associated with 14% (HR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.03–1.25, Ptrend = 0.0155) and 14% (HR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.03–1.26, Ptrend = 0.0247) higher risk of insulin resistance, respectively, after controlling for demographic characteristics, smoking and drinking status, fasting blood glucose levels, eGFR, and co-morbidities (Table 3).
