The contribution of metabolic syndrome to REE of adult men and women.

	MetS−	MetS+	* p Value
Unadjusted REE, kJ/d	5781.4 ± 132.9	6814.7 ± 140.5	<0.001
Adjusted REE, kJ/d (Model 1)	5408.9 ± 135.6	6283.8 ± 138.9	<0.001
Adjusted REE, kJ/d (Model 2)	5760.2 ± 86.3	5994.1 ± 87.3	0.025

n = 180. Data are mean ± standard error. MetS− = without metabolic syndrome; MetS+ = with metabolic syndrome. Using pooled data (over MetS− and MetS+) and p Value: * Independent samples t-test or Multivariable linear regression analysis (via General Linear Univariate model). LSD test was used for post-hoc comparison. Model 1: adjusted for age, gender, season, time of measure, and ethnicity. Model 2: adjusted for model 1 plus FM, FFM, 25OHD & insulin sensitivity.
