ALB and diabetes mellitus: The multivariable Cox regression, adjusted for age, sex, BMI, dialysis vintage, DM, hypertension, serum albumin, and the non-HDL mean group, also demonstrated that age was an independent risk factor for all-cause death during follow-up (HR: 1.039, 95% CI: 1.019–1.059), and dialysis vintage remained an independent protective factor (HR: 0.873, 95% CI: 0.852–0.894) (Table S2).
