Stepwise multiple regression analysis for predicting follow-up HOMA-IR levels and metabolic risk score.^a,b

Variable	Adjusted	p	r2
	β Coefficient
Follow up HOMA-IRc
Waist circumference	0.026	< 0.0001	0.206
D6D	0.619	0.007	0.250
Follow up metabolic risk scored
Waist circumference	0.135	<0.0001	0.356

BMI = body mass index; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HOMA-IR = homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance; TG = triglyceride.

^aData are log transformed prior to analysis.

^bFor multiple stepwise regression analysis, only the two independent variables incorporated into the model are listed, and the r² values displayed are cumulative.

^cIndependent variables include: baseline age, BMI z-score, waist circumference, TG, HDL-C, and desaturase.

^dIndependent variables include: baseline age, waist circumference, and desaturase.
