Table 5. The association between selected adipokines with metabolically health status in different categories of body weight according to body mass index.
| Weight | Adipokine | OR | 95% CI for OR | p-value | P-value‡ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal weight (n = 74) | Omentin-1 | 1.002 | 0.99 to 1.00 | 0.37 | 0.30 |
| Vaspin | 1.11 | 0.71 to 1.74 | 0.63 | 0.42 | |
| Rbp4 | 1.08 | 0.92 to 1.27 | 0.33 | 0.38 | |
| Overweight (n = 108) | Omentin-1 | 1.81 | 1.00 to 1.91 | 0.01 | 0.01 |
| Vaspin | 1.28 | 0.70 to 2.33 | 0.41 | 0.48 | |
| Rbp4 | 1.08 | 0.92 to 1.26 | 0.33 | 0.39 | |
| Obese (n = 168) | Omentin-1 | 1.63 | 1.00 to 1.75 | 0.06 | 0.07 |
| Vaspin | 1.29 | 0.69 to 2.42 | 0.41 | 0.78 | |
| Rbp4 | 1.12 | 0.81 to 1.54 | 0.47 | 0.56 |
Normal weight was defined as BMI ≤ 24.9, overweight as BMI 25 – 30, and obesity as BMI ≥ 30 kg m2, and metabolically healthy phenotype was defined as having at least four components of karelis criteria (4). OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval. ‡ P value after adjustment for weight, gender and age in logistic regression analysis.
