Table 2 Correlation values between body mass index (BMI), body weight, and leptin and growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) stratified by sex.
| Variable | FemalesN=39 | MalesN=35 |
|---|---|---|
| BMI | (ρ=0.268; p=0.14) | |
| Weight | (ρ=0.247; p=0.17) | |
| Leptin | (ρ=0.290; p=0.11) | |
| The table presents correlation values between Gas6 levels and BMI, weight, and leptin concentration in the population, stratified by sex. The left column corresponds to female patients, while the right column corresponds to male patients. Statistical significance of the correlations is observed solely in female patients ( | ||
