Forward stepwise multiple regression analysis by sex and race: Dependent variable: Palmitate Flux (N=32 men/35 women)

Caucasian and AA Men
R²=0.38, adjR²=0.36
Variable	Parameter estimate	95% CI	P-Value
REE	1.0009	1.0005–1.0013	<0.001
Intercept	16	8–35	<0.001

Caucasian and AA Women
R²=0.36, adjR²=0.34
Variable	Parameter estimate	95% CI	P-Value
REE	1.0005	1.0001–1-0008	0.012
Fat Free Mass	1.0193	1.0066–1.0320	0.005
Intercept	17	10–31	<0.001

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