Adjusted Odds Ratios (95% Confidence Intervals) of Having Leptin and Resistin Levels in the Top Tertile, and Adiponectin Levels in the Bottom Tertile, Associated with Body Size Phenotypes

Top Tertile of Leptin (21.0–138.6 ng/ml) Top Tertile of Resistin (14.2–182.6 ng/ml) Bottom Tertile of Adiponectin ( 0.0–21.8 μg/ml)

MBNW – Metabolically Benign Normal Weight; ARNW – At-Risk Normal Weight; MBO – Metabolically Benign Overweight/Obese; ARO – At-Risk Overweight/Obese

The Metabolically Benign Phenotype was defined as ≤1 of: elevated blood pressure (≥130/85 mmHg or medication), elevated triglycerides (≥150mg/dL), elevated fasting glucose (≥100 mg/dL or medication), low HDL-C (<50mg/dL for women or medication).

The Metabolically At-Risk Phenotype was defined as ≥ 2 of: elevated blood pressure (≥130/85 mmHg or medication), elevated triglycerides (≥150mg/dL), elevated fasting glucose (≥100 mg/dL or medication), low HDL-C (<50mg/dL for women or medication). OR If diabetic (self-report of diabetes, fasting blood glucose ≥ 126 mg/dl or on antidiabetic medication).
