Table 4. TR and 95% CI for development of MetS in subjects with total adiponectin level ≤ 6.2 μg/ml compared with > 6.2 μg/ml based on Weibull distribution.

	TR (95%CI)	P value	Estimated HR
No. of events/ population at risk	45/365
Model 1	0.14 (0.04–0.46)	0.001	3.99
Model 2	0.22 (0.08–0.64)	0.005	3.04
Model 3	0.24 (0.08–0.69)	0.008	3.04

Model 1: adjusted for age. Model 2: model 1 plus additional adjustment for BMI, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and regular exercise. Model 3: model 2 plus additional adjustment for hs-CRP.

MetS, metabolic syndrome; TR, time ratio; HR, hazard ratio
