Table 3 Multivariable linear regression analysis demonstrating the relationship of the leptin/adiponectin (L/A) ratio with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), age, sex and diabetes status and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in 67 subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS; A) and in 86 subjects without MetS (B)

From: Increased leptin/adiponectin ratio relates to low-normal thyroid function in metabolic syndrome

	L/A ratio
	β	P-value
A MetS (n = 67)
Age	−0.130	0.25
Sex (women vs. men)	0.278	0.018
T2DM	−0.049	0.74
hs-CRP	0.150	0.21
TSH	0.289	0.018
B No MetS (n = 86)
Age	−0.076	0.39
Sex (women vs. men)	0.431	<0.001
T2DM	0.002	0.98
hs-CRP	0.430	<0.001
TSH	−0.119	0.22

T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus; β: standardized regression coefficient. The L/A ratio and hs-CRP are logarithmically transformed. Models are additionally adjusted for the use of antihypertensive medication, sulfonylurea and metformin
