Assessment of the relationship between prediabetes and low skeletal mass based on blood creatinine level by S. I. Ibragimova, G. O. Nuskabayeva, Z. N. Shalkharova, K. Zh. Sadykova, G. A. Junusbekova, M. Oran

“…As a result of the conducted regression analysis, a statistically significant relationship was found between low creatinine levels and the chances of having prediabetes (crude OR 2,07, 95% CI 1,21; 3,56), which persisted after adjusting for socio-demographic, anthropometric factors, stress level and physical activity as well as muscle strength. After adding the data on MedDietScore to the statistical model, the revealed relationship was lost (p = 0.187).CONCLUSION: Low serum creatinine increases the chances of the presence of prediabet regardless of gender, age, body weight index, the volume of the hips, the ratio of the volume of the waist to growth, as well as physical activity, the level of stress and muscular power. …”
