Multiple logistic regression analyses of BMI-SDS reduction in adolescents with obesity.
| Model No. | Included participants | Model Summary | Dependent | Independent | ΔR2 | B ± SEM | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | all adolescents with obesity | R2 = 0.077; p = 0.004; n = 142 |
BMI-SDS reduction | TSH | 0.077 | -0.34 ± 0.13 | 0.009 |
| 2. | female adolescents with obesity | R2 = 0.232; p < 0.001; n = 67 |
BMI-SDS reduction | FT4 | 0.232 | -0.41 ± 0.13 | 0.002 |
| 3. | male adolescents with obesity | R2 = 0.086; p = 0.025; n = 75 |
BMI-SDS reduction | TSH | 0.086 | -0.299 ± 0.15 | 0.044 |
Analyzed in forward logistic multiple regression analyses. Co-variates: Age, Sex, BMI-SDS, FT4 and TSH. BMI, body mass index; SDS, standard deviation score; TSH, Thyroid-stimulating hormone; FT4, free thyroxine. All significant values (p<0.05) are in bold.
