Diabetes by GL-Q

F=3.83; p=0.010, estimated power = 81.8%, with alpha =0.05

Model F= (10, 354)=9.43, p <0.001; R2 Squared = 0.210 (Adjusted R2= 0.188)
Abbreviations: PP = arterial pulse pressure; HTN meds= hypertension medications; B=coefficient; SE=standard error, GL = glycemic load; Q = quartiles
