* Adjusted for age, gender and smoking status.
Model 1: systolic BP, diastolic BP, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, IL-6 and leptin as the independent variables; Model 2: systolic BP, diastolic BP, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, IL-6 and adiponectin as the independent variables; Model 3: systolic BP, diastolic BP, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, IL-6 and LAR as the independent variables.
Abbreviations are presented as in Table 1.
Data with skew distribution (CRP, triglyceride, IL-6, leptin, adiponectin and LAR) are logarithmically transformed before statistical testing to meet the assumption of normal distributions.
The dependent variable is log CRP.
BP, blood pressure; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; IL-6, interleukin-6; LAR, leptin-to-adiponectin ratio.
