APOA1 and diabetes mellitus: Table 4 showed that relationship of MPV and GS could be adjusted by other conceivable confounders, including gender, smoking status, diabetes, HbA1c, fibrinogen, WBC, TC, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and apoA1. As a result, MPV was still independently positively correlated with GS after the adjustment (β = 0.171, p < 0.001, Table 4). Furthermore, we found an apparent trend of elevating GS by MPV tertiles (Figure 3).
