Multivariable regression risk factors for single slice epicardial fat volume (N = 94), R² = 0.49

Model 1 Co-Variates	EFV Beta co-efficient	P
	(95% Confidence Interval)
Log Coronary artery calcification score	0.40 (0.01–0.80)	0.045
Abdominal obesity	1.86 (0.94–2.80)	<0.0001
Log UACR	0.81 (0.20–1.40)	0.01
HDL cholesterol	−2.30 (−3.68–-0.83)	0.002
Interleukin −6	0.99 (0.38–1.61)	0.002
Diabetes mellitus	−0.86 (−1.8–0.10)	0.08
eGFR (per 10 ml/min/1.73 m2 decrease)	0.25 (−0.15–0.65)	0.21

UACR = urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio; HDL = high density lipoprotein; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate.
