Pearson correlation analysis of adiponectin with baseline metabolic and anthropometric variables in nondiabetic subjects in the IRAS Family Study
| Adiponectin | |
|---|---|
| BMI (kg/m2) | −0.27 |
| VAT (cm2) | −0.31 |
| SAT (cm2) | −0.24 |
| Fasting glucose (mg/dL) | −0.24 |
| Fasting insulin (pmol/L) | −0.31 |
| SI × 10−4 (min/UU/mL) | 0.29 |
| HOMA-IR | −0.31 |
| HOMA-B | −0.24 |
| Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) | −0.08 |
| HDL cholesterol (mg/dL) | 0.37 |
| Triglyceride (mg/dL) | −0.23 |
Adjusted for age, sex, and ethnicity. All P values are < 0.0001, except for systolic blood pressure (P = 0.0006), and are from GEE models additionally adjusting for family structure.
