Correlation of metabolic and biochemical factors with serum log leptin according to gender distribution
| Gender | n | BMI (kg/m2) | Waist circumference (cm) | Total body fat % | Total body water % | Muscle mass (kg) | BMR (kcal) | Bone mass (kg) | Total cholesterol (mg/dL) | Mean HDL(mg/dL) | Mean non-HDL(mg/dL) | Log 25OHD (ng/mL) |
| Male | 74 | 0.2561 | 0.2561 | 0.472 | -0.3312 | -0.4992 | -0.018 | -0.206 | -0.053 | -0.139 | -0.023 | -0.4792 |
| Female | 93 | 0.3772 | 0.3622 | 0.3222 | -0.2712 | 0.02 | -0.332b | 0.247a | -0.169 | -0.176 | -0.135 | -0.102 |
| Overall | 167 | 0.2392 | 0.1811 | 0.4452 | -0.3642 | -0.4262 | -0.047 | -0.137 | -0.72 | -0.127 | -0.045 | -0.2752 |
1
Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed);
2
Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Univariate analysis was conducted and variables that had significant association with leptin in univariate analysis at P < 0.2 were considered in multivariable analysis. Coefficients (r) and P values are calculated using Pearson's correlation analysis. P-value less than 0.05 was considered as significant and < 0.001 as highly significant. BMI: Body mass index; BMR: Basal metabolic rate; 25OHD: 25-hydroxy vitamin D; HDL: High density lipoprotein.
