Table 1 Multiple linear regression analysis in the patients with type 2 diabetes (n=182) using serum galectin-9 levels as dependent variables

Model	Independent variables	Unstandardized coefficient		Standardized coefficients	t value	P value	Model r²
		B	Standard Error	Beta
1	Osmotic pressure (mmol/kg)	0.020	0.006	0.239	3.187	0.002	0.057
2	Age (year)	0.003	0.003	0.102	1.141	0.255	0.068
2	Osmotic pressure (mmol/kg)	0.018	0.007	0.209	2.521	0.013
	eGFR (mL/s)	−0.012	0.102	−0.011	−0.113	0.910

Age, osmotic pressure and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are used as independent variables in stepwise multiple linear regression analysis in model 1. In model 2, all parameters are included in the analysis.
