Multiple regression analysis of several correlates with BMI
| Variables | Coefficient | 95 % CI | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WHR (ratio) | 0.31 | 6.17 | 21.56 | 0.001** |
| TC (mmol/L) | 0.24 | −0.17 | 1.27 | 0.136 |
| TG (mmol/L) | 0.09 | −0.53 | 1.25 | 0.426 |
| LDL (mmol/L) | −0.11 | −1.51 | 0.72 | 0.365 |
| hs-CRP (U/L) | −0.48 | −2.71 | 0.26 | 0.018* |
| Coronary risk | 0.74 | 1.07 | 3.73 | 0.001** |
The analysis used BMI as an independent variable and several parameters (TC, TG, hs-CRP, coronary risk and WHR) as the dependent variables
hs-CRP highly sensitive C-reactive protein, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, WHR waist hip ratio, LDL low density lipoprotein
* Mean difference is significant (p < 0.05)
** Mean difference is highly significant (p < 0.0001)
