The β coefficients represent the change in adiponectin levels for 1 unit increase in the predictor. HMW: High Molecular Weight; MMW: Medium Molecular Weight; LMW: Low Molecular Weight; BMI: Body Mass Index; SBP: Systolic Blood Pressure; DBP: Diastolic Blood Pressure; FBG: Fasting Blood Glucose; HOMAIR homeostasis model assessment of insulin-resistance; HDL-Cholesterol: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MS score: Metabolic Syndrome score; CRP: C-reactive protein. Analyses are adjusted for age, age2, gender, smoking habit and physical exercise.
