Univariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to the association between the prevalence of IHG/DM and each of variables by expression of OR with 95% CI (left). After conduction of a stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis using all research variables, ORs were calculated using remained confounders by a multiple logistic regression analysis (right)
