ALB and diabetes mellitus: In logistic regression, disability was associated with higher SUA levels in the unadjusted model (OR = 1.22; 95% CI = 0.1.07–1.40; P = .003), after adjusting for age and sex (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 0.1.04–1.38; P = .015), and in the final model (OR = 1.22; 95% CI = 1.01–1.48; P = .036, Table 2), adjusted for age, sex, and those variables significantly associated in univariate models (i.e. diabetes, heart failure, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease, Charlson, and AMT score, use of statins, and loop diuretics, hemoglobin, albumin, cholesterol levels).
