Correlations were determined using Pearson correlation coefficients. T2D: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; HS: Healthy subjects; BMI: Body mass index; SBP: Systolic blood pressure; DBP: Diastolic blood pressure; FPG: Fasting plasma glucose; HDL-c: Cholesterol bound to high-density lipoprotein; LDL-c/HDL-c: Cholesterol bound to low density lipoprotein/HDL-c ratio; TC/HDL-c: Total cholesterol/HDL-c ratio; ucOC: Undercaboxylated osteocalcin.
