Multivariate Stepwise Regression Analysis Between Absolute GLS and Clinical Parameters
| Parameters | Absolute GLS | |
|---|---|---|
| β | P-value | |
| Age | 0.047 | 0.73 |
| Sex | −0.12 | 0.52 |
| BMI | −0.190 | 0.17 |
| DBP | −0.15 | 0.25 |
| Hb | −0.37 | 0.08 |
| Triglyceride | −0.29 | 0.04* |
| Leptin | −0.35 | 0.02* |
Notes: Predictors: age, sex, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, triglyceride, leptin, hemoglobin. R2 =0.389; adjusted R2 = 0.289; β = standardized beta coefficient. *Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level.
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; GLS, global longitudinal strain; Hb, hemoglobin.
