The Cox proportional hazards regression analyses in Table 3 revealed that the highest probability of all-cause death was in the group with highest LTL tertile and T2D, with an HR of 1.34 (95% CI = 1.07–1.68; P = 0.0101) after adjusting for age, smoking, cancer, sex, CVD, MetS, hypertension, eGFR, albumin, and antidiabetic drug. Here, ALB is linked to cancer.
