Table 2 Adjusted* β-coefficient (95% confidence interval [CI]) of the associations between fasting glucose (FG) and insulin (FI), the homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and 2-h postload glucose (2HG) and insulin (2HI) with left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI), left ventricular wall-thickness index (LVWTI) and left ventricular concentricity (LVC)

From: Glucose and insulin levels are associated with arterial stiffness and concentric remodeling of the heart
