Multivariable analysis between variables including components of metabolic syndrome and total testosterone concentration

Variable	β	SE	P-value
Age (y)	-0.004	0.000	<0.001
BMI (kg/m2)	0.003	0.001	0.004
HDL-C (mg/dL)	0.001	0.000	0.019
R2	0.131
Adjusted R2	0.126

P-values were obtained using the stepwise multivariable linear regression. Total testosterone was dependent variable and age, BMI, waist circumference, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass, systolic blood pressure, and concentrations of fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, ALT, and CRP were independent variables.

β, standardized regression coefficients; SE, standard error; BMI, body mass index; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
