Association Between Subclinical Albuminuria and Early Arterial Stiffness in Chinese Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Elevated UACR in normal range is associated with arterial stiffness risk in Chinese women with type 2 diabetes, but not in men. Among postmenopausal women, this link is significant only below a lg-UACR threshold of 1.1 and is abolished at or above this level. This critical threshold effect, modulated by menopause, suggests sex-specific UACR criteria for vascular risk assessment.
