Factors associated with insulin sensitivity in women at follow-up 6 years after GDM diagnosis.

Model	Variables	β	R2
I	Waist-to-height ratio	0.749**	0.549**
II	Waist-to-height ratio	0.589**	0.656**

Multivariable linear regression (stepwise) with HOMA-IR as the dependent variable.

Independent variables: weight, BMI, weight change since index pregnancy, waist circumference, WHR, waist-to-height ratio, body fat mass (absolute value and in relation to body weight), serum levels of hsCRP, leptin, adiponectin, and AFABP, adipocyte volume, total number of adipocytes, numbers of adipocytes 50–100 μm, 100–150 μm, and > 150 μm in relation to total number, and glycerol release in vitro.

The inclusion criterion of the model was an F probability of 0.05. The exclusion criterion was an F probability of 0.1.

β, β standardized coefficient; R², adjusted determination coefficient.
