Patient characteristics were further analyzed by the number of DKA admissions at the index admission, in categories of 0, 1–4, 5 10, and >10 admissions, as shown in Table 2. Patients with multiple episodes were leaner, had longer duration of diabetes, and developed diabetes at a younger age.
Covariates were age, sex, BMI, lean mass, REE/lean mass, HAART duration, PI usage, HIV duration, fasting glucose level and fasting insulin level.
Linear regression was performed with fasting serum glucose, 2-hour glucose, and HbA1c as outcome variables, and age, sex, BMI, waist, lean mass, REE/lean mass, HAART duration, PI usage, HIV duration, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, family history of diabetes and interactions as independent variables.
Accordingly, the patients with lean phenotype had a longer duration of diabetes than those with obesity.
The weight in obese patients decreased significantly after 27 months, and lean patients had a longer duration of diabetes than obese patients.
Compared with the obese patients, the lean patients suffered a longer duration of diabetes (P < 0.01), although the average history of proteinuria was similar among the three groups.
We also investigate how variations of some of the key system design and operating parameters can affect the extent and duration of high-temperature lean exposure.
We find that the thermal front propagates downstream through the catalyst bed relatively slowly (compared to the concentration front) and this can limit the location within the catalyst bed and duration for high-temperature lean exposure.
Significant correlations were observed between BMC and disease duration, GCs usage and lean mass, respectively.
Also fat and lean tissue, as grams, correlated with duration of cART - rho= -0.26, p=0.048 for both.
The training protocol was also progressively altered by applying external load, as a percent of lean body mass, and increasing exercise duration (see Table 1).
