Differences in IMT (μm) in relation to 1 SD increase in WHR and WHtR after adjusting for MUAC/Thigh/BMI and covariates*

Main variable Differences in IMT per SD increase in WHR
Differences in IMT per SD increase in WHtR
Coeff. (95%CI) p-value Coeff. (95%CI) p-value
BMI-adjusted MUAC 9.30 (1.28, 17.31) 0.023 13.86 (2.16, 25.56) 0.020
BMI adjusted thigh circumference 8.73 (0.86, 16.59) 0.030 10.71 (−0.65, 22.07) 0.065
BMI 8.96 (1.12, 16.81) 0.025 11.45 (0.86, 22.04) 0.034

Model adjusted for the main variable as well as other covariates, including age, sex, education length, smoking status, SBP, and BMI (except for the model when BMI was the main variable); coefficients and p values were calculated with anthropometric variable included as continuous; SDs (standard deviation) are 0.08, 0.07, 4.56 kg/m2 for WHR, WHtR and BMI respectively.
