Stepwise linear regression of independent variables associated with adiponectin concentrations
| Independent variables | Parameter estimate | SE | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 4.31 | 1.62 | 0.009 |
| HDL cholesterol | 0.073 | 0.019 | 0.0004 |
| Postload glucose2-h OGTT | −0.018 | 0.007 | 0.02 |
| Si | 0.204 | 0.099 | 0.04 |
Independent variables: fasting and postload glucose2-hOGTT, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, PAI-1, Si, disposition indexFSIGT, basal insulin secretionOGTT, and waist circumference; 0.15 significance level for entry of variables into the model. Dependent variable = fasting plasma adiponectin concentration. FSIGT, frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test.
