Table 3 Multivariate stepwise linear regression model for SMM/W.
| Dependent variable | R2: 0.389P: <0.001 | |
|---|---|---|
| Independent variable | Beta coefficients | P |
| WHtR | −0.102 | 0.006 |
| WHR | −0.375 | <0.001 |
| TG (mmol/L) | 0.005 | <0.001 |
| Age | 0.001 | <0.001 |
| Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis was performed, including age (age), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-hip ratio (WHR), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), the natural logarithm of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (ln HOMA-IR), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), uric acid (UA), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-(OH)D3) as independent variables, with skeletal muscle mass adjusted by weight (SMM/W) as the dependent variable. | ||
