Forward stepwise multiple regression analysis by sex and race: Dependent variable: Palmitate Flux

Caucasian and AA Men
R²=0.31, adjR²=0.29
Variable	Parameter estimate	95% CI	P-Value
REE	1.0007	1.0004–1.0010	<0.001
Intercept	25	15–43	<0.001

Caucasian and AA Women
R²=0.41, adjR²=0.39
Variable	Parameter estimate	95% CI	P-Value
Race	0.80	0.69–0.94	0.008
REE	1.0008	1.0005–1.0011	<0.001
Intercept	33	21–53	<0.001

Results of a stepwise, forward multiple linear regression analysis using REE, race, fat free mass, fat mass (or visceral mass), and insulin concentrations as potential independent predictors of palmitate flux; only significant predictors are show.
