Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis on the Association of Target Organ Damage with Somatotype

	Underweight (n= 100)	Normal (n= 892)	Overweight (n= 817)	Obesity (n= 289)
Cardiac TOD	OR [95% CI]	OR [95% CI]	OR [95% CI]	OR [95% CI]
LVH	0.47 [0.24, 0.90]*	Reference	1.20 [0.95, 1.51]	2.05 [1.52, 2.78]*
LVDD	1.37 [0.56, 3.33]	Reference	1.78 [1.20, 2.65]*	2.51 [1.57, 4.02]*
Vascular TOD
Artery stiffness	0.69 [0.38, 1.26]	Reference	1.16 [0.91, 1.46]	1.65 [1.20, 2.52]*
Carotid arterial plaque	0.60 [0.39, 0.94]*	Reference	0.82 [0.66, 1.01]	0.79 [0.59, 1.06]
Renal TOD
Microalbuminuria	1.61 [1.04, 2.50]*	Reference	1.31 [1.07, 1.60]*	1.39 [1.05, 1.84]*
CKD	1.12 [0.39, 3.28]	Reference	1.29 [0.97, 2.12]	1.57 [0.81, 3.04]

Notes: Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to investigate the association of TOD with somatotype, after adjustment for age, male gender, mean arterial pressure, fasting plasma glucose, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, glomerular filtration rate. Odd ratio (OR) value and 95% confidence interval (CI) were present. *Indicating significantly and independently correlation of TOD with somatotype, taking normal somatotype as reference.

Abbreviations: LVH, left ventricular hypertrophy; LVDD, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction; CKD, chronic kidney dysfunction; TOD, target organ damage.
