Fig. 2. Frequency distribution of diabetes in
patients with either HBV infection or HCV infection stratified by quintiles
of age. (A) The entire cohort (HBV vs. HCV from youngest to oldest quintile,
12% vs. 8%, P = .32; 5% vs. 15%, P = .03;
12% vs. 26%, P = .02; 19% vs. 36%, P = .01;
26% vs. 31%, P = .34 ). (B) After excluding subjects
with conditions predisposing to diabetes (HBV vs. HCV from youngest to
oldest quintile, 13% vs. 8%, P = .36; 4% vs. 11%, P = .14;
9% vs. 23%, P = .02; 14% vs. 31%, P = .01;
28% vs. 29%, P = .91 ). *P < .05 for
differences in frequency of diabetes in HBV cohort vs. HCV. ( ), HBV; ( ), HCV.
