Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis in obesity patients, with presence of cardiac dysfunction as the dependent variable

Variable	Univariate P‐value	Multivariate P‐value
Male gender	0.004	0.001
SDNN index	0.015	0.015
SDNN	0.026
Waist circumference	0.048
Heart rate	0.019

ALAT, alanine aminotransferase; SDNN index, mean of the standard deviations of all the NN intervals for each 5 min segment of a 24 h heart rate variability recording; SDNN, standard deviation of NN intervals.

Variables displayed were statistically significant different between obesity patients with and without cardiac dysfunction. Multivariate logistic regression analysis; method: backward stepwise analysis.
