Anthropometric variables and body composition factors with degree of severity of AN in diabetic subjects and controls
| Variable | AN in diabetic subjects | p Value | AN in controls | p Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 (n = 48) (51.1%) | Grade 2 (n = 33) (35.1%) | Grade 3 (n = 13) (13.8%) | Grade 1 (n = 40) (66.7%) | Grade 2 (n = 20) (33.3%) | |||
| The p value shows a comparison (analysis of variance for continuous variables). BMI, body mass index; SFT, skinfold thickness; IP, impedance plethysmograph. †Significant difference between grade 2 and grade 3. *The p value is significant. | |||||||
