Multivariate models for patients with RA with HOMA-IR >2.29 (dependent variable)

Predictor β OR 95% CI P value
Multivariate model 1 using obesity covariate
 Obesity (BMI>30) 1.795 6.01 1.94 to 8.66 0.002
 Mean DAS28-CRP 1.021 2.77 1.29 to 5.99 0.009
 IL-1β (pg/mL) 0.464 1.59 1.06 to 2.38 0.024
 R2=0.352
Independent variables: age, sex, obesity (BMI>30), mean DAS28-CRP score, diagnostic delay, sedentary lifestyle
