Parameter Estimate [in ln(adipokine) units] (95% CI)

Ln = Natural Log, ALR = Adiponectin-to-Leptin Ratio

Model 1 = Adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, education

Model 2 = Adjusted for variables in model 1 + BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hormone therapy

Model 3 = Adjusted for variables in model 2 + waist circumference
