Multivariate analyses for WC, BMI, RRF and R.E.N.A.L. score associations

WC:
Parameter	Estimate	SE	95%CI		p
Intercept	4.82	1.88	1.08	8.56	0.0122
WC	0.03	0.01	0.00	0.05	0.0219
Age	0.02	0.02	−0.02	0.06	0.4630
Sex (F vs M)	−1.09	0.51	−2.10	−0.09	0.0338
Race (C vs Non-C)	0.05	0.86	−1.67	1.76	0.9550
Diabetes	−0.39	0.56	−1.50	0.72	0.4853

After controlling for age, sex, race and diabetes status, WC is significantly associated with the renal score (p=0.0219). For every 1 unit increase of WC, the renal score will increase 0.03 units. After controlling for WC, age, Race and diabetes status, females have average of 1.09 unit lower renal score than males (p=0.0338). However, there is no significant association between renal score and diabetes status.

Abbreviations: WC = waist circumference, BMI = body mass index, RRF = retro-renal fat pad distance, F = female, M = male, C = Caucasian, Non-C = non-caucasian
