    Serum asprosin levels were found to progressively increase across serum calcium tertiles in the studied population.

    Significant associations were identified between serum calcium and metabolic indicators including HDL-C, uric acid, asprosin, and creatinine.

  • 4

    Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that creatinine and asprosin were independently associated with serum calcium levels.

    The findings suggest a potential link between calcium homeostasis and adipokine regulation in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
