After controlling for potential covariates, including age, gender, BMI, current smoker, MAP, antihypertensive drugs, history of cardiovascular disease, duration of T2DM, HbA1c, TG, LDL-c, HDL-c, lipid-lowering drugs, eGFR, albuminuria, uric acid, ALT, and AST, multiple linear regression analysis displayed that the difference in baPWV between the two groups remained significant (β = 0.87, 95% CI (0.65, 1.10), p < 0.001). Here, GPT is linked to cardiovascular disorder.
